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

through

-noise, weak signals and strong signals.

6.To set the “squelch gate” to the DSS-Desired Squelch Setting, turn the squelch control counterclockwise until you hear noise. Then turn the squelch control back clockwise

just until the noise stops.

Now only strong signals

get through.

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