Setting Squelch Level

An open (low) squelch level sets the threshold for the
receiving signal strength to be low. This means that
the radio would receive a great variety of signals, both
weak and strong. A tighter (higher) squelch level
raises the threshold, thus filtering weak signals and
only accepting the stronger ones. To set the squelch
level:
SQL
Press .
B
Rotate the Channel Selector Knob (2) to select the
desired squelch level.
Press the Toggle Light / Enter Button (4) (or any
other button) momentarily to adopt the selected
squelch level and return to normal operating mode.
IMPORTANT
The radio automatically adopts the new squelch
level and returns to normal operation after 5 sec-
onds of inactivity.
If you reach the upper ('15') or lower ('00') limit of
the squelch range, the squelch level does NOT
wrap around to the opposite limit but remains
where it is.
