Adjusting The Squelch - Uniden BCT-12 Operating Manual

Operating Instructions

Adjusting the Squelch

Think of the Squelch Control as a gate.
1. Turn the SQUELCH control fully counterclockwise. This raises
the "Squelch Gate" so high that no signals can get through.
2. Turn the SQUELCH control fully clockwise until you hear a
hiss. This lowers the "Squelch Gate" so that everything gets
through ... noise, weak signals, and strong signals.
3. Turn the SQUELCH control back counter clockwise just until
the hiss stops. Now the "Squelch Gate" allows only strong
signals through.
