Controls And Indicators - Vertex Standard VM-3500E Owner's Manual

7 CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

This section defines each control of the transceiver. See Figure 4 for
location of controls. For detailed operating instructions refer to chapter 8
of this manual.
VOLUME CONTROL ( VOL )
Adjusting this control clockwise, increases the audio volume level.
SQUELCH CONTROL ( SQL )
Adjusting this control clockwise, sets the point at which random noise on
the channel does not activate the audio circuits but a received signal does.
This point is called the squelch threshold. Further adjustment of the squelch
control will degrade reception of wanted transmissions.
