However, when a call including the "BK ON" signal (break-in call) is received, the squelch opens, and audio is heard even if the call is addressed to another station. Station C calling to Station A with "BK OFF" Station A and B are communicating using the Digital Call Sign squelch. Station C calling to Station A with "BK ON" Station A and B are communicating using the Digital Call Sign squelch. Station A Station B Station C Station B does not hear that Station C is calling Station A. Station A Station B Station C Station B also hears that Station C is calling Station A. 5-21
