5. If you turn the squelch |
| |
control fully counter- |
| |
clockwise, it lowers the |
| |
“squelch gate” so low |
| |
that everything gets |

| |
- noise, | SOUNDTRACKERTM | |
weak | ||

signals |
| |
and |
| |
strong |

signals. |

6.To set the “squelch gate”
to the |
|
Squelch Setting, turn the |
|
squelch control |
|
counterclockwise until |
|
you hear noise. Then turn |
|
the squelch control back |
|
clockwise | SOUNDTRACKERTM |
just until |
|
the noise |
|
stops. |

get through. |

The Desired Squelch Setting, (DSS) only allows actual transmissions to come through. This effectively blocks out unwanted noise.
