Additional Operations
Using this procedure in Memory mode to switch
from one squelch mode to the other, does not affect
the default squelch mode for the channel. Each
time you turn the radio off and on again, or when
you switch to another channel and back again, the
radio reverts back to its default squelch mode.
Setting Squelch Level
An open (low) squelch level sets the threshold for the
receiving signal strength to be low. This means that
the radio would receive a great variety of signals, both
weak and strong. A tighter (higher) squelch level
raises the threshold, thus filtering weak signals and
only accepting the stronger ones. To set the squelch
level:

level and returns to normal operation after 5 sec-
onds of inactivity.
