You should be good to go!

Just as a note, when your radio shows white "T" in a black box, then it will TRANSMIT a squelch tone. When you see a "CT", then it will transmit the tone, and expect to hear the same tone before it breaks the squelch.

Also note (one of my pet peeves) that if you switch between "CT" and "T", then you will have to re-enter your tone frequency. The frequency selection for the two is independent (for some unknown reason).

One more small note. Your transmit button is held in by friction against a rubber key cap. If you drop the unit, it is possible for the plastic button to fall out. This has happened to me about three times in three years. It just snaps back in.

The included antenna is not the best. The Maldol MH-610 is a very nice antenna if you want performance. Note, however, that it is VERY long (but length, in general, equals performance). That is the model that I have, but I am sure that there are others out there. The Diamond SRH320A looks ver similar, but I cannot comment on it because I do not have one.

You have a fun little radio. Enjoy!
