Selecting Frequency - Kenwood TH-78A Instruction Manual

Whenever you are selecting frequencies, your first
step should be to set the squelch control. The
squelch helps eliminate "white noise" or static until
you receive active communications on a frequency.
There are two squelch controls, one for the UHF
band and one for the VHF band. To set the squelch
controls:
VHF BAND
1 Rotate the VOL control clockwise until a signal or
noise is heard coming from the speaker.
2 Rotate the tuning control to selected an open
channel.
3 Rotate the SQL control clockwise until the noise just
disappears and the BUSY indicator turns off. This
point is known as the Squelch Threshold point.
4 Press the BAND key.
5 Repeat steps 1 to 3, and adjust the squelch of the
other band.
