Press and hold this knob for one second to turn the radio on. Clockwise
rotation of this knob increases the audio volume level.
Press and hold this knob for two seconds to turn the radio off.
SQUELCH CONTROL ( SQL )

the channel does not activate the audio circuits but a received signal will.
This point is called the squelch threshold. Further adjustment of the squelch
control will degrade reception of wanted transmissions.
