SQUELCH
Background noise or static is present to some degree at
every location. This is a normal condition. If you set the
squelch above the background noise level, the radio will
remain silent until a voice transmission is detected. It is
best to set the squelch as low as possible (to just before
static is constant). This way you can hear signals that may
be weak. If you set the squelch too high, you may miss
some weak voice transmissions.

signals above the Squelch threshold will be stopped.
