4. Scan Priority Squelch
This value corresponds roughly to the squelch values which are 'aligned' using the align
channel window of the Radio Service Software. The priority squelch level is used when
checking priority channels while the radio is unmuted on an active channel. Sensitivity to
priority channels in the unmuted state is affected by this value. Lower values will make the
radio more sensitive, but too low a value may cause falsing. The default value is 8 and
should only be changed if difficulties with priority sensitivity are encountered. To align this
scan parameter, follow the steps below:
(a) Set up according to Section VI-A. and select the SCAN PRIORITY SQUELCH option in
the Align Scan Menu.
(b) Increment or decrement the time parameter accordingly using the UP (or PGUP) or the
DOWN (or PGDN) arrow keys.
(c) Valid range is from $0 to $0F (0 to 15) with a default value of $08 (or 8).
(d) Reprogram radio if finished with ALL alignment functions.
