HT 1000 busy channel LED question
I programmed into my 16 channel VHF HT 1000 the option to have the red LED blink whenever a channel is busy. However, this seems to work on only one channel. I thought this was a global setting?? Is this option dependant on other options to be enabled in order for it to work, or is it PL tone dependant?
Also, when turning the channel selector knob, there is sometimes a beep when I pass over certain channels. Why? I have all channels configured alike, as far as signalling options (all disabled).
I think the setting for the red LED blinking on a busy channel is a global setting. I can not understand why it is working like you described.
The beeping when you pass a certian channel, sounds like the "last active scan channel beep function" this lets you know which was the last channel to have traffic on it during scan.

If the channels you are receiving are CSQ, the LED will NOT blink on RX, you must have code squelch (PL or DPL) to get the LED to flash.
The beep tone is the active channel tone, it is under scan config, and will let you know what the last channel of activity was heard, since the radio lacks a display, this is useful during scanning operation,

Depends on how you set your "CLEAR CHAN DEFINITION" in the Radio Wide Options screen in RSS. This will dictate what the radio sees as a "busy" channel.Will wrote:The "busy" indicator will not function if the radio is receiving the correct PL code, because the channel is NOT busy!!! To meet Busy, there must be a carrier or a carrier with a different PL or DPL code.
