Power/Volume
The volume knob at the top right of the radio’s face is used to power up
the LVR 850. Turn the knob clockwise to turn on the radio. The unit
will start on Ch. 2, then switch to Ch. 16, its default priority channel.
Squelch
Squelch, the bottom knob on the radio’s face, helps the unit screen out
radio traffic resulting from signals that are too weak to transmit any-
thing but noise. To adjust the squelch, turn it to the left until noise can
be heard. Turn it back to the right until the noise is eliminated.

The
H/L key gives you control over the radio's wattage. The high-end is
25 Watts. The low-end is 1 Watt. If the
LO ANNUNCIATOR is off, the radio
will transmit at 25 Watts.
