In the conventional mode of operation, the squelch can be re-adjusted in the MENU selection mode or

default value of 9, or any user level between 1 and 16, can be selected using ProGrammer software. The

user can change this setting either of two ways from the front panel keys.

A value of 16 requires a strong signal to open squelch, a value of 2 requires a very weak

signal to open squelch, and a value of 1 is open squelch.

disabled. When the squelch adjust feature is exited, Channel Guard, T99 decode, and Scan

are restored to their previous states.
