Operation
Turn On and Set Squelch
Your radio tunes to channel 16 — the United States Coast Guard
frequency for distress, safety, and calling —
automatically.
1. Turn Vol knob clockwise until you hear
a beep.
2. Continue until you hear a hissing sound.
3. Press sQuElCh until the hissing stops.
Make sure to first select a channel not in use before setting
squelch.
NOTE
Your radio's Squelch has 4 setting levels — level 0 (Monitor) to level 3
(Tight).
Think of the squelch control as a gate. If you
increase the squelch level to maximum, it raises
the "Squelch Gate" so only the strongest signals
get through.
If you decrease the squelch level to minimum,
it lowers the "Squelch Gate"' to the extent that
weak signals can get through.
If unwanted weak and noisy signals are getting
through, increase the squelch level (raise the
"Squelch Gate") to a medium level. Now only
medium and strong signals get through.
