■ Squelch level setting
The squelch circuit mutes the received audio signal depend-
ing on the signal strength. The transceiver has 9 squelch lev-
els, a continuously open setting and an automatic squelch
setting.
➥ While pushing and holding [SQL] (
to select the squelch level.
• "LEVEL 1" is loose squelch (for weak signals) and "LEVEL 9" is

■ Operating mode selection
Operating modes are determined by the modulation of the
radio signals. The transceiver has 3 operating modes: FM,
AM and WFM modes. The mode selection is stored indepen-
dently in each band and memory channels.
Typically, AM mode is used for the AM broadcast stations
(0.495–1.620 MHz) and air band (118–135.995 MHz), and
WFM is used for FM broadcast stations (76–107.9 MHz).
WFM mode cannot be selected below 30 MHz bands.
