Functions and operations

Squelch level (SQL) - MENU No.0

Thanks to this function you can adjust the squelch in 10 dierent levels:
level 0: opened squelch. With this setting, CT590S will detect all signals,
also the weakest ones, but will also receive the background noise or unde­sired signals.
levels 1- 9: level 1 (lowest squelch level), level 9 (highest squelch level). If the squelch is set to the highest level, the radio will receive the strongest signals only.

Step frequency (STEP) - MENU No.1

This function lets you select the desired frequency step. The selectable steps are the following:

Output power (TXP) - MENU No.2

In this MENU you can select the high/low output power. Low power = 1W; High power = VHF 5W / UHF 5W
Note: select the output power can improve the quality of the call, while the low output power can reduce the radiation and the battery capacity loss. Press the fast key “#” to switch between the high or low output power.

Battery save (SAVE) - MENU No.3

The power save feature enables a reduction in the consumption of the battery when the radio is in standby. You have 5 selections available: OFF / 1:1 / 1:2 / 1:3 / 1:4. For example: 1:1 = 1s’ working and 1s’ battery saving. 1:2 = 1s’ working and 2s’ battery saving.

VOX Function (VOX) - MENU No.4

This function allows hands-free conversations: just speak in the direction of the microphone and the communication will be automatically activated. You can choose amongst 11 levels: OFF-10. 1 is the highest level, 10 is the lowest one.
