Accessories Supplied; Controls & Functions - AOR AR8600 Operating Manual

Note: It is very important that the squelch is advanced to cancel background noise for the
search & scan facilities to operate. This is because the AR8600 believes that it has found an
active frequency when the squelch opens and "S" 'squelch open' legend is displayed to the left
of the signal meter. Advance the squelch control clockwise until the background noise is just
cancelled, this is known as the threshold position. If the squelch control is advanced too far,
weaker signals may be missed.
No noise and no "S" legend displayed (with squelch advanced clockwise passed
threshold) = squelch closed.
Signal received or 'noise' emanating from speaker (squelch fully anti-clockwise, below
threshold) with "S" legend displayed = squelch open.
