S-Meter Squelch

S-meter Squelch causes the squelch to open only when a signal with the same or greater strength than the S-meter setting is received. This function relieves you from constantly resetting the squelch when receiving weak stations that you have no interest in.

1Enter Menu mode and access Menu 105 (S.SQL) {page 20}.

2Set the S-Meter squelch to ON or OFF.

3To select the desired S-meter setting, rotate the left (band A) or right (band B) SQL control depending on which band you have selected.

• The squelch will open only at the level you have selected (for example, level 9).

nSquelch Hang Time

When using S-meter Squelch, you may want to adjust the time interval between when the received signals drop and when the squelch closes. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 106 (S.SQ.HNG) {page 20}.

2Set the hang time to 125 or 500 ms, or OFF.

Advanced Intercept Point (AIP)

The VHF/UHF band is often crowded in urban areas. AIP helps eliminate interference and reduce audio distortion caused by intermodulation. You can use this function only while operating on the VHF/UHF band.

1Enter Menu mode and access Menu 103 (VHF.AIP) and/or Menu 104 (UHF.AIP) {page 20}.

2Set the AIP to ON or OFF.
