3.Turn the SQUELCH conrol back counter clockwise just until the hiss stops. Now the “Squelch Gate” allows only strong signals through.

Strong Signals

Medium Signals

Weak Signals

Noise

4.Sometimes when you open the Squelch, you may trigger the Alert feature even though no highway patrol cars are in the area. If this happens, turn the SQUELCH control counterclockwise until the “rushing” noise stops. Then turn the BCT-10 off, and back on, to reset the Alert feature.

Note: In metropolitan areas, you may want to adjust the Squelch control more counterclockwise to reduce the range of the Alert feature. When set fully counterclockwise, Squelch limits the Alert range to a short distance.
