Frequency Scan - Furuno FS-1562-15 Operator's Manual

Squelch control:
Squelch is used to mute the receiver audio output when the receiver input is less than a preset value
or dominant noise is higher than a preset (1000 Hz) level. To switch the squelch function ON,
press the [5] SQUELCH key. Make sure the label "SQ" appears on the display. To pick up a weak
signal at high audio frequencies, you should remove the squelch function notwithstanding a
possible increase of background noise. To do this, press the [5] SQ switch again. Make sure the
label "SQ" goes off.
Noise blanker (NB):
Always in circuit. This function is to clip off inputs noise resulting from an engine ignition or
