Setting Squelch
5 If you turn the squelch control fully counter-clockwise, it
lowers the "squelch gate" so low that everything gets through
- noise, weak signals and strong signals.
6 To set the "squelch gate" to the DSS-Desired Squelch
Setting, turn the squelch control counterclockwise until you
hear noise. Then turn the squelch control back clockwise just
until the noise stops. Now only strong signals get through.
The Desired Squelch Setting, (DSS) only allows actual
transmissions to come through. This effectively blocks out
unwanted noise.
