Think of the squelch control as a
gate. If you turn the squelch fully
clockwise it raises the Squelch
Gate so high that no signals get
through.
Turn the unit ON by rotating the volume
control clockwise. Turn the outer ring
of the control to adjust the Squelch.
Setting the FM Squelch
To set the Squelch Gate to the
desired level, turn the squelch knob
counterclockwise until you hear
noise. Then carefully turn the
Squelch knob clockwise until the
noise fades. Now only strong
signals get through.
If you turn Squelch fully
counterclockwise it lowers the
Squelch Gate to the extent that all
signals get through  weak, medium
and strong signals and noise.
Operation
You must select a
channel which is not in
use before setting the
SQUELCH control.

UHF CB Repeaters are used to retransmit or replay your signal. Repeaters will extend the range of your radio
and overcome the shielding effect caused by solid obstructions. In normal Simplex operation, your radio transmits
on one particular frequency and receives on that same frequency. If there is a barrier that partially blocks your
transmitted signal, the probability of another radio receiving the signal is very slim. Hills, tall buildings, metallic
structures,etc. tend to act as a screen between radios.
Selecting a Channel
Turn the Rotary Channel Selector to select the
desired channel.
Transmitting
Select the desired channel. Press the Microphones PTT button, hold it approx. 7cm from your
mouth and speak normally into the microphone.The TX LED will light.
Release the PPT button to end the transmission and listen for a reply.
Using Repeater Channels
The Signal coming from your radio is received by the Repeater Station and then retransmitted at the same time
on another channel. This operation is called Duplexing.
For example,
CH01 on Duplex Mode will receive on CH01 but Transmit on CH31
CH02 on Duplex Mode will receive on CH02 but transmit on CH32 etc
If you transmit on CH01 Duplex mode, you are actually transmitting on CH31, the repeater station down-converts
your signal and retransmits on CH01.

switch Duplex off.
Only channels 01-08 are available for Duplex
Chec with your local Retailer for

The UH-012 has a scanning feature that allows you to search for active channels automatically.
Press and scanning starts.
The SCAN LED is turned on.
Scanning (open scan)
Allows continuous scanning of all channels in ascending order.
If an active channel is found, scanning will stop on that channel.
If the received signal ceases, the unit will wait 3
seconds for the signal to return, otherwise
scanning resumes.
To deactivate SCAN, press or the
PTT button on the microphone.
If SCAN is deactivated while on an
active channel, the UH-012 will stay
on that active channel. If no channels
are active, the UH-012 will reinstate
the starting channel.
