■ Voice squelch control function

This function is useful when you don't want to hear
unmodulated signals. When the voice squelch
control function is activated, the transceiver checks
received signals for voice components.
If a receiver signal includes voice components, and the
tone of the voice components changes within 1 second,
squelch opens. If the received signal includes no voice
components or the tone of the voice components does
not change within 1 second, squelch closes.
