If enabled,éTalk Around will permit the operator to select the Talk Around 
mode of operation from his control head by flipping a switch if the control
head is so equipped.

When Talk Around is enabled and selected,éthe radio uses the receive freq-
ency as the transmit frequency on all modes. 

Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable or disable this option.



AUDIBLE TONES ENABLE/DISABLE½4205

If disabled,éthe operator will not hear anyéaudible tones associated with
changes in mode, scan on/off etc.âTones associated with scan priority are
not affected.

Useéthe UP/DOWN arrow keys to disable or enable Audible Tones.



UNMUTING / MUTING TYPES░4206

This line selects how PL/DPLéinteracts with squelch toéunmute or mute the

Useéthe UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Muting type desired.

NON-PRIORITY SCAN MODES░4207

Only certainémodels of theéM400 radioéare allowed to select Operator    
Select Scan. Other models default to Mode Slaving.éIn Operator Select Scan
theéoperator adds and deletes modes from the non-priority modeéscanélist 

from the control head.âRefer to your user'sémanual regardingéadding and
deleting non-priority scan modes byéentering the Scan ConfigurationéMode.

PRIORITY MODE SELECTION░4208

Scanning radios always scan the priority frequency even if there is channel
activity on other non-priority modes. In Operator Select Scan, the operator
enables and changes the priority mode from the control head.éRefer to your
users manual regarding changing the priority scan mode by entering the Scan 
ConfigurationéMode.éIn SelectedéModeéScan,éthe radioéalwayséuses the 
selected mode as the priority scan mode. 

UseétheéUP/DOWN arrow keys to select the kind of priorityémode operation
desired.


PRIORITY SCAN SAMPLE RATE«4209

Scanning radios always scan the priority frequency even if there is channel
activity on other non-priority modes.éThe process of sampling the priority
scan mode willécause brief tickséin the unmuted audioéof any other mode.
A tick is heard every time the radio checks the priority mode for activity.é
Aé"High" sampling rate will detect priority activity sooner but willéalso 

cause a more rapid tick to be heard in unmuted non-priority audio when scan 

is on.

UseétheéUP/DOWN arrow keys toéselect the rate of priorityémode sampling
desired.

PL/DPL will be defeated. Otherwise, PL/DPL will selectively mute scan modes.

Useéthe UP/DOWN arrow keys to disable or enable carrier squelch.



HANG UP BOX OPERATION▓4212

This line selects what happens to scan, if it is on, when an operator pulls
the microphone out of the hang up clip.éThe choices are:

 Carrier Squelch Scan - The radio continues scanning and PL/DPL is defeated.

 Stop Scan - The radio stops scanning and goes back to the selected mode.

Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select Hang Up Box operation.


HOME MODE╛4214

ForéBasicéPlus control headsé(model T__XTA7TA7_K), a HomeéModeémayébe

Whileéunmuted onéanéactive non-priority member of a scan list, the radio
will periodically sample the priority channel (if there is one) looking for
activity.éWhile the radio isécheckingéthe priority channel,éthe speaker
will be muted temporarily and the non-priorityéchannel traffic will not be 
heard.éThis brief absence of audio is called the "AUDIO HOLE".

If theéMINIMUM HOLE SIZEéoption is selected,éand the scanélist(s)écon-
tain(s) modes which are greater than 5 MHz apart in frequency,éscan sensi-
tivity will be decreased.éIf the modes in the scan list(s) are always less
