Squelch
Squelch control filters weak signals and radio frequency noise so that you can more
clearly hear the signals you want. You can think of it as a variable barrier that blocks
what you don’t want to hear.
To Squelch Your Radio:
1.
With the Squelch knob turned fully counter-clockwise,
turn the On-Off/Volume knob clockwise until you hear
a hissing (noise) sound.
NOTE
The Volume Up/Down buttons on the microphone/
speaker cannot be used in the squelch process.
You must use the
On-Off Power/Volume knob.
2. Turn the Squelch knob clockwise until the hissing
sound stops.
Turning the
Squelch knob further clockwise (higher bearier)
will filter weak and medium strength signals until only
the strongest signal can get through at the highest
squelch setting.
To Receive Weaker Signals:
1.
Turn the Squelch knob counterclockwise (lower bearier).
If the squelch is set so that you can hear a continuous
hissing sound, the memory scan and tri-watch functions will
be blocked.
