The channel bank "F" has up to 16 switchable channels that are factory-preset to customer-specific receiving frequencies. The channel bank "U" also has up to 16 switchable channels to store frequencies that are freely selectable within the preset frequency range. Always set the transmitter and the receiver of a transmission link to the same channel. After scanning the channel bank (see "Scanning the channel bank for free channels ­ SCAN" on page 25), only the free channels are displayed. [. . . ] The receiver checks incoming audio signals to see if the pilot tone is present. In the absence of the 19-kHz signal, the receiver's audio output will remain muted, even if a strong RF signal is present. This prevents strong interfering signals from causing hissing noise in the receiver when the transmitter is switched off. Field strength-dependent squelch Depending on the strength of the received RF signal, the receiver's audio output is opened or muted. [. . . ]
