Automatic SQUELCH
The ADV05 is equipped with an automatic squelch, which mutes the speaker audio
unless a strong enough signal is present. As this is automatic, there is no
user input required to adjust it.
Talking and Listening
To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same Channel (and
the same Silent PIN code if it is set). To talk, press and hold PTT. Indicates
transmission.
The transmit power is 0.5 Watt. Hold the radio 5 to 7 cm away from your mouth
when speaking. When you are finished speaking, release PTT to listen.
NOTE
For maximum range and extended the life of the batteries, avoid touching the
antenna with your hand when transmitting.
Checking the Channel Before Transmitting
For uninterrupted communication, do not talk on a channel if someone else is
currently talking on it. Indicates a signal is being received. If a Silent PIN
(CTCSS code) is enabled, check for activity on a channel before you talk,
press and hold MON. If you hear static, the channel is clear to use.
Push to Talk Timeout Timer
To prevent accidental transmissions and save battery life, the radio emits a
continuous warning tone and stops transmitting if you press PTT for 60
continuous seconds.
CTCSS and DCS Codes – Silent PIN When you dont want to hear chatter from other
users on a channel, who are not part of your group, you can set a Silent PIN
(CTCSS or DCS code). The silent pin works to keep your radio silent, unless
someone is transmitting using the same silent pin – so only share your pin
setting with those in your group. The ADV05 has 104 pins (codes) available
(01~104). The radios in your group must be set to the same Silent PIN (CTCSS
or DCS code). When communicating with other ADV series radios you just select
the same pin code. You can set a different pin code for each channel using
this procedure.
-
Set a desired channel to use a Silent PIN on.
-
Press MENU two times. The PIN (code) number flashes.
-
Press UP or DOWN to select a setting;
- PIN 00 Setting is disabled (off)

Ex. 1 shows Silent PIN 38 (CTCSS code #38)
Ex. 2 shows Silent PIN 104 (DCS code #104)
-
Press PTT to save the code setting.
NOTE:
Set to 00 to disable the feature for the current channel. If you are
communicating with non ADV series radios then let them know the code type
(CTCSS or DCS) and number your are using.
Scanning Channels
Use scanning to monitor channels for transmissions or to find someone in your
group who has accidentally changed channels.
To start scanning:
- Press and release SCAN. The SCAN indicator displays.
- Press and release SCAN again to disable scanning. The SCAN indicator disappears.
When the radio detects channel activity, it stops scanning and you can hear
the transmission. To respond to the transmission, press PTT within 5
seconds,the channel will be confirmed.

press and release UP or DOWN to temporarily remove that channel from scan and
resume scanning. Removed channels are restored when the radio is powered off
then on again.

UHF CHANNELS & FREQUENCIES
Always listen on a channel (or observe the receive signal level meter) to ensure it is not already being used before transmitting. Channels 5 and 35 are used for emergency channels. CTCSS will not operate on these channels. Please follow these guidelines for channel use in Australia:
- Channels 05 and 35 are Emergency Channels.
- Channel 11 is a Calling Channel.
- Channels 22 and 23 are for telemetry and telecommand applications, channels 61, 62 and 63 are for future use and TX is inhibited on these channels.
General communication is accepted on all other channels with these guidelines:
- Channel 40 – road channel (Australia).
- Channels 01-08 (and 31-38), and Channels 41-48 (and 71-78) are repeater channels.
Important information 80 Channel UHF-CB channel expansion
To provide all users additional channel capacity within the UHF-CB Band. The
ACMA will change the majority of the current wideband 40 channel use to
narrowband channel use. This allows for additional channels to be added, up to
80 Channels. This simply means that the new narrowband radio you have
purchased will have more channels than older radios. Please refer to the
guidelines above and the channel chart for further channel information. A list
of currently authorised channels can also be obtained from the ACMA website in
Australia and the MBIE website in New Zealand.
Interference / Poor Audio
When a new narrowband radio receives a signal from an older wideband radio the
speech may sound loud. Narrowband radios operating on CH41 – CH80 may
encounter interference from a nearby wideband radios transmitting on high
power on an adjacent channel (frequency). When an older wideband radio
receives a signal from a new narrowband radio the speech may sound quiet – the
wideband radio user simply adjusts their radio volume for best performance.
The above situations are not a fault of the radio but a symptom of mixed
wideband and narrowband radios in current use. It is expected that as older
wideband radios are phased out this issue will be eliminated.
