turn the On-Off/Volumeknob clockwise until you hear
a hissing (noise) sound.

You must use the On-Off Power/Volume knob.

sound stops.
Turning the Squelchknob further clockwise (higher bearier)
will filter weak and medium strength signals until only
the strongest signal can get through at the highest
squelch setting.

If the squelchis set so that you can hear a continuous
hissing sound, thememory scan and tri-watch functions will
