Solutions to FAQs when trying the radio
1. Frequency Interference: Voices from other group or other broadcasting stations are heard on the channel. Three methods are available:① Change Channel ② Set CDCSS/CTCSS or DTMF code ③ Lower the squelch level
2. Short Distance：If there is difference between required communication distance and practical distance, the communication can be realized through adjustment of radio RF power or squelch level. Or, a repeater is suggested added to improve the communication.
3. Intermittent Voice: Intermittent voice is often heard in critical distance during radio communication. Under such condition, please adjust squelch level or cancel CDCSS/CTCSS code to improve it.
4. Squeaking: It's normal that squeaking may be heard on the channel when two radios is several meters near or closer. Users can adjust the volume to improve it.
