Think of the squelch control as a gate. If you turn Squelch fully clockwise it raises the 'Squelch gate' so high that no signals get through.
If you turn the Squelch fully counterclockwise it lowers the 'Squelch Gate' to the extent that all signals get through - weak, medium and strong signals and noise.
To set the 'Squelch Gate' to the desired level, turn the squelch knob counterclockwise until you hear noise. Then carefully turn the Squelch knob clockwise until the noise fades. Now only strong signals get through.
