■Setting squelch level
The squelch function sets a minimum receive signal level

veniently prevents noise and static from being emitted when
receiving weak signals or no signals at all.
Further setting of squelch removes weak signals.The remov e
level is displayed on the S-meter (S-meter squelch). The
squelch does not open if a signal below the set S-meter level
is received.
