How Squelch Works
Think of “SQUELCH” as a gate. If the gate is too low (squelch too low), everything (all noise as well as signals) gets through.
If the gate is set too high (squelch too high), nothing gets through.
If the gate is set just right (squelch set properly), just the desired signals get through.
The BC860XLT Squelch has two options. AUTO Squelch - a level preset at the factory; and Manual Squelch, where you can set the squelch level as needed by conditions.
