Adjusting The Squelch Level; Changing The Frequency Step Manually - Yaesu FT1DR Operating Manual

Adjusting the Squelch Level

You can mute the raspy noise heard when no signal is being received. The squelch level
can be adjusted separately for two broadcasts (FM and AM) received on the A-band and
B-band. When the squelch level is increased, the noise is more liable to disappear but, if
it is set too high, it becomes difficult to receive weak signals. Adjust the squelch level as
required.
