How Squelch Works

Think of "SQUELCH" as a gate. If the
gate is too low (squelch too low),
everything (all noise as well as signals)
gets through.
The BC860XLT Squelch has two options. AUTO Squelch - a level preset at the factory;
and Manual Squelch, where you can set the squelch level as needed by conditions.
If the gate is set too high (squelch too
high), nothing gets through.

Basic Operation

If the gate is set just right (squelch set
properly), just the desired signals get
through.
