[ICOM] Tone squelch operation, "uniformed" question - REPLY

[George J. Nixon Jr.]

I'm beginning to get "informed"!  Thanks to all. I have an IC-2000H in my car, an IC-208H for a base VHF/UHF station, and an IC-735 for an HF base station. I won a bid on eBay a few days ago for an IC-2710.  I may have some questions about it when I get it in a couple days! 73 - George, N9EJS

A lot of radios offer " Busy Channel Lockout" feature, no transmit if 
the channel is busy. Many Icon Amateur transceivers offer this feature too.
