Replace the fuse if damaged.• Check the cause, then replace the fuse.• Set the volume to a suitable level.• Set the squelch level to the threshold.• Turn the appropriate function OFF.• Check, and if necessary, replace the feedline or sol-der the antenna connector again.• Set squelch between 10–12 o’clock position (appli-cation) or 12 to 19 level (RC-24).• Turn the tone squelch function ON.• Set to simplex.• Correct the offset frequency.• Correct the subaudible tone frequency.• Turn the function OFF.• Cancel the watch.• Program the memory channel.—pgs. 15,114p. 114p. 34p. 33pgs. 92to 99pgs. 13,14p. 33p. 92pgs. 57, 58p. 60p. 59p. 38pgs. 90,91pgs.74–76
