remains illuminated when R/T1 is not transmitting, R/T2 squelch is not adjusted

right.

If R/T2 TRANSMIT indicator (3) does not illuminate when R/T4 is transmitting or

remains illuminated when R/T4 is not transmitting, R/T3 squelch is not adjusted

right.

If the communication link is secured, refer to paragraph 2-12 and reconfigure R/T1 and R/T4.
