communication or
noise is heard
on the channel.
The noise is too loud.
You may suffer from external
disturbance (such as electromag-
netic interference).
The radio may be set with no
signaling.
Set signaling for all member radios to avoid
interference at the same frequency. And change
the signaling settings for all portable radios at the
same time.
