Voice Squelch Control Function; Meter Peak Hold Function - Icom IC-7000 Instruction Manual

■ Voice squelch control function

This function is useful when you don't want to hear
unmodulated signals. When the voice squelch control
function is activated, the transceiver checks received
signals for voice components.
If a receiver signal includes voice components, and
the tone of the voice components changes within 1
sec., squelch opens. If the received signal includes
no voice components or the tone of the voice compo-
nents does not change within 1 sec., squelch closes.
