Setting The Squelch Threshold - Garmin VHF 725 Owner's Manual And Reference Manual

Setting the Squelch Threshold

Setting the Squelch is important for reception
of signals you want to hear. There are ten
threshold levels, from 0, which allows all signals
to be received, to 9, which allows only the
strongest signal to be heard through the speaker.
The diagram in Figure 5 demonstrates how setting
the threshold level allows you to hear only the
signals you desire, while weaker, unintelligible
signals are not heard.
