I Squelch attenuator

The transceiver has an RF attenuator related to the squelch
level setting. Approx. 10 dB attenuation is obtained at maxi-
mum setting.
➥ Rotate [SQL] clockwise past the 12 o'clock position to ac-
tivate the squelch attenuator.
• Attenuation level can be adjusted up to 10 dB (approx.) between
12 o'clock and fully clockwise position.
• When setting the squelch from the microphone, a level greater
than '19' activates the squelch attenuator.
