ADJUSTING SQUELCH

The purpose of the Squelch it to mute the speaker when
no signals are present. With the squelch level correctly
set, you will hear sound only when actually receiving
signals. The higher the squelch level selected, the
stronger the signals must be to receive. The appropriate
squelch level depends on ambient RF noise conditions.
Turn the SQL control when no signals are present.
Select the squelch level at which the background noise
is just eliminated.
