noise on the channel. Setting the squelch level higher filters out channel noise and lets only

actual radio transmissions through.

While listening to a channel, adjust the SQUELCH knob until the noise is filtered out and you

can only hear the transmission. If you switch to a channel with a lot of noise or with a weak

transmission, you may need to adjust the squelch level again.

#nOte: setting the squelch level too high may prevent you from hearing weaker

transmissions. if you are having difficulty hearing a transmission, try setting the squelch

level lower.
