To achieve the Desired Squelch Setting
(DSS): Think of your Squelch Control as a gate
for incoming signals. If you turn the Squelch
Control fully clockwise, it raises the "squelch
gate" so high that no signals get through.

Setting Squelch
If you turn the squelch control fully counter-
5
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.
