■ Voice Squelch Control function

This function is useful when you don't want unmodu-
lated signals pausing or cancelling a scan. When the
Voice Squelch Control function is activated, the scan
pauses while the receiver checks the received signals
for voice components. (The squelch does not open
during this check.)
If a received signal includes voice components, and
the tone of the voice components changes within 1
second, the scan is stopped and the squelch opens.
If the received signal has no voice components, or the
tone of the voice components does not change within
1 second, the scan resumes.
While in a phone mode (SSB, AM or FM), push
➥
[VSC]() to turn the VSC (Voice Squelch Control)
function ON or OFF.
• "VSC" is displayed when the function is ON.
• The VSC function can be used in any scan.
• The VSC function resumes the scan on unmodu-
lated signals, regardless of whether the Scan Re-
sume function is set to ON or OFF.
