Audio Quality Enhancement

2.1 Companding
Companding is a collective term to define compressing the audio signal on transmission and
expanding the audio signal on reception. The overall effect is to reduce noise in the received signal,
giving you crisper, clearer audio clarity. Companding should only be used when other radios in your
system have the same companding feature available.
It is important to ensure that all radios in a team have the feature switched on.
Benefits
Crystal clear communication which makes listening easier.
Improves efficiency as messages are heard and understood first time.

Channels

3.1

Number of channels

The CM340 mobile supports up to 10 channels, and the CM360 mobile up to 100 channels.
Each channel can be either a repeater channel, where the transmit and receive frequencies differ
(Semi-Duplex operation), or a Talkaround channel, where the transmit and receive frequencies are
the same (Simplex Operation).
3.2

Channel Alias

With up to 100 channels it can be difficult to remember who is on which channel number. To make it
easier to recognise the channels, each channel can be given a meaningful alphanumeric name (or
Alias) up to 8 characters long.
Benefits
Meaningful names can be given to each channel, making it easier to find the right channel.
