Adjusting The Squelch Level - Kenwood TK-278G Instruction Manual

Adjusting the Squelch Level

Squelch is used to silence the speaker when no
signals are present. When squelch is turned OFF,
you will hear background noise from the speaker.
When it is ON, you will not hear background noise.
The squelch level you select determines when
squelch will turn OFF and ON. If you select a
squelch level that is too high, you will not hear
weaker signals. If you select a squelch level that is
too low, you will hear background noise between
signals.
To adjust the squelch:
1 Press and hold the Side 2 key, then press the >
key.
• "SQL" and the current squelch level appear.
2 Rotate the Rotary encoder to select a squelch
level from 0 ~ 9.
• Clockwise increases the squelch level and
counterclockwise decreases it.
3 Press any key other than the key programmed as
Lamp to complete the setting.
• Normal operation is restored.
