Squelch options
The Radio supports 2 kinds of squelch options. A different squelch option can be applied
to each channel. Sub Audible Tone (SAT) codes are made up from frequencies which are
below 300Hz. These frequencies are lower than the voice audio band. The two most
common forms of SAT codes are CTCSS, Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System, and
DCS, Digitally Coded Squelch.
CTCSS/DCS information may be added to speech during transmission. A receiving radio
can then be programmed to behave according to which tones or codes are being sent by a
transmitting radio.
The SL6000 Series radios are capable of generating all 47 standard CTCSS tones and
can also generate the 83 standard DCS codes and 83 inverted DCS codes.
CTCSS
47 kinds of TIA/EIA Standard CTCSS Tones can be set up. All tones can be set up using
PC Programmer.
TX Operation: If PTT key is pressed, the radio transmits programmed CTCSS tone.
RX Operation: If CTCSS Tone is detected, the Radio status is changed from Busy to
Correct Call. If the CTCSS Tone is not detected, the radio would stay in Busy mode or
change from Correct Call to Busy mode.
DCS
The radio supports 83 kinds of TIA/EIA Normal/Inverted DCS codes.
TX Operation: If PTT key is pressed, the Radio transmits pre-programmed DCS Bit
pattern.
RX Operation: If DCS Data Stream is detected, the radio status will change from busy
mode to correct call. If DCS data stream is not detected, the radio will stay in busy mode
or be changed from correct call back to busy mode.
Monitor
Squelch defeat operation
Pressing the monitor key will open the squelch and switch on the loudspeaker. Everything
on the channel, including FM noise, will be heard.
It is possible to disable the monitor key via the programmer, to prevent a user openly
monitoring a channel in a closed user group system.

When using CTCSS or DCS controlled squelch, several user groups may use the same
RF channel without overhearing the other groups. It is common practice to allow users to
listen to a channel before placing a call. This allows the user to check they are not going to
transmit over a conversation from another user group.
This allows more efficient use of the RF channels available.
Squelch level
The squelch level can be adjusted either by the PC programmer or by the user. By setting
the level high i.e. 10 the radio will open with a higher level of noise.
Squelch Level (N Band) 1-10
Squelch Level (S Band) 1-10
Busy channel lockout
The radio has several inhibit functions which restrict transmission under the following
conditions:
Busy Channel Lockout – ON: Upon PTT being pressed, if carrier is present, the radio shall
not transmit and an audible alert tone will be heard.
Busy Channel Lockout – OFF: Upon PTT being pressed, the radio shall transmit
regardless of the presence of carrier.
Mark idle
Marked Idle enabled: Can only be enabled if Busy Channel Lockout is ON. If the Busy
Channel Lockout is on and carrier is detected, the radio permits transmit if the RX squelch
option is valid.
TOT timer
Once the TOT has been enabled, the PTT Timer can be set from 0 – 990 seconds with 10
second increments, which is the allowed time for a sustained transmission.
Penalty time
The penalty timer does not allow a transmission for a set programmed time after the PTT
timer has expired, to allow a cool off period for the transmitter. The settings are from 0 –
75 s in 5 sec. increments.

Scanning
Scan modes
Scanning is a Dealer programmable feature that allows you to monitor a number of
channels or channels within a group. Your Dealer will help you define your "scan list"
Normal channel scan
During programming of the radio, any channel can be selected as a channel to be
scanned. A short press on the Menu/Scan button, on the front of the radio will activate
scanning. While the radio is scanning, the LED indicator flashes green. Once scan is
activated, the radio will traverse through the pre-programmed scan list. The time spent on
receiving a channel in the scan list is referred to as the scan speed time. When an
incoming call is detected and decoded, scanning stops and the radio enters Correct Call
Mode and the speaker is active. After the call has ended, the radio stays active for a pre-
programmed period which is defined by the scan wait time. If the radio receives a call from
the same caller before the scan wait time expires, the radio remains in Correct Call Mode
and the scan wait time is reset. When the scan wait time expires, the radio resumes
scanning.
Priority channel scan
This function operates only when priority channel is set via the SL6000 Series
programmer. During programming of the radio, any one channel can be selected as the
priority scan channel. The priority channel will be included on the list of channels that
make up the scan list. The priority channel when used with other scanned channels
operates as follows: P1→S1→P1→S2→P1→S3→P1→S4→P1, etc.
If you try to TX on priority scanning, the radio transmits according to TX options set by the
PC programmer (see Transmitting during scanning). Press the scan button to exit this
function.
Lookback
This function allows the radio to scan between priority channel and lookback channel.
When the current channel is the look back channel, the Priority Look back Scan
automatically starts. Scan channel operates on 2 channels (current lookback channel and
priority channel). Lookback channel is displayed as an “L” Icon on the LCD. Lookback
channel is set by the PC Programmer.
