4-4-3 VFO search LEVEL squelch
The VFO LEVEL squelch parameter causes the AR8200 to check the signal strength and to only open

The limits are OFF and 1 to 255 (default off).
Note: VFO LEVEL squelch affects both VFOs and VFO search.

useful alternative to regular squelch on noisy bands such as short wave.
The approximate relationship between signal meter segments and 'level value' is as follows:
