In the transmission mode, it actually strengthens the signal, providing you with a significant reduction in noise on reception and transmission. Operation Activating SoundTracker TM Activating SoundTrackerTM Note This engages the SoundTrackerTM system and reduces the noise level. Note SoundTrackerTM gives you clearer, cleaner reception to improve CB communications while on the air. Sound clarity is measured by the ratio of the signal level to the noise level. How SoundTracker TM Works On Reception - "Cuts noise coming in" With a normal CB, distant signals fall below the squelch level and are unintelligible. With a SoundTrackerTM CB, the noise level is cut up to 90%, which increases the signal-to-noise ratio and dramatically improves signal clarity. This also allows you to significantly reduce the squelch level, which greatly expands your listening range. On Transmission - "Strengthens signals going out" A SoundTrackerTM CB strengthens the transmit signal by more effectively using the available RF power output of the CB. The result is improved transmission signal clarity and an expanded transmission range. 1 Pushand release the ST key. 2 The SoundTrackerTM LED will illuminate red. 10 11 37st manual layout. 5 10/1/98 9:56 AM Page 18 Operation Testing SoundTrackerTM Testing SoundTracker TM Note Operation At times you may experience different levels of noise reduction.
