Auto Squelch/Maximum Range

automatically shuts off weak transmissions and unwanted noise

 

due to terrain and conditions. This slightly reduces the Maximum

 

Range at which signals can be heard.

 

You can turn off auto squelch to allow all signals to be received and extend the maximum range of your radio.

Light/Max Range To briefly turn off auto squelch:

– Press the Light/Max Range button for less than five (5) seconds.

If you hear two (2) beeps, you have turned the maximum range extender on (see below).
