ADJUSTING SQUELCH

The purpose of the Squelch it to mute the speaker when no signals are present. With the squelch level correctly set, you will hear sound only when actually receiving signals. The higher the squelch level selected, the stronger the signals must be to receive. The appropriate squelch level depends on ambient RF noise conditions.

Turn the SQL control when no signals are present. Select the squelch level at which the background noise is just eliminated.
