Squelch Programming Instructions

Squelch Programming

To enter Squelch programming mode
• Turn the unit off
• Press and hold the seek button; while still holding seek turn the ON/OFF dial to turn the unit on.
• Release the seek button when the Listen name disappears and a two digit display is seen.
To adjust the Squelch level
• Use the Channel UP and DOWN buttons to raise or lower the squelch sensitivity settings.
• Lower numbers mean that a less powerful and possibly noisy signal will be heard, but you can
have a longer range.
• Higher numbers mean that a more powerful signal with no noise will be heard, but you may
have a shorter range.
• Once the desired squelch setting is found, press "seek" to exit the squelch programming mode.
Squelch setting 00 is no squelch; this effectively disables Squelching capabilities of the receiver.
Squelch setting 20 is maximum squelch sensitivity; you must have a very strong and stable RF signal
for the unit to not engage the squelch feature.
Adjusting the squelch setting will keep your LR-500 receiver from picking up noise when the
transmitter is not transmitting, or when you lose the signal by being out of range or if encountering
interference.
Note: For squelch settings 1-3, the squelch function is slow which allows for maximum transmission
range. For squelch settings 4-20 the squelch function is fast to ensure little radio noise is heard
during the squelch function.
(The Listen SQ™ feature is not squelch, please refer to page 75 for information on Listen SQ™).
