Operator Selectable Squelch Control (Sql) - Kenwood TK-630 series Instruction Manual

Scanning Mode: The transceiver will momentarily stop scan and display
the home channel, then scanning will resume normally.
This channel will also become the new off-hook revert
channel.
To Select a "new" Home Channel (radio must be in non-scan mode):
(1)
Select the desired channel with the channel/group selectors.
(2) Press and hold the
SCN key while hitting HC.
(3) A single confirmation tone sounds; the new home channel is now set.
4-14. OPERATOR SELECTABLE SQUELCH CONTROL (SQL)
This feature allows the mobile operator to manually adjust the internal squelch
threshold in 16 steps via the front panel controls. For carrier squelched
channels, an occasion may arise where the current setting is too sensitive for
the current RF environment that the transceiver is located, thus causing the
squelch to open and close intermittently. This feature can only be initiated in
non-scan mode. If your dealer has assigned the OPERATOR SELECTABLE
SQUELCH to a front panel key, it operates as follows:
(1)
Initiate the squelch setting mode.
0
KCH-4 fronts: Press the SQL key once.
KCH-3 fronts: Press the key that has been assigned the "SQL" function.
This is either the SCN, MON, OPT or D/A key. The display will change
to show the current squelch level setting. (Default=Code 9):

to code 16
(2) Select a new squelch level.
Rotate the channel select knob. The LCD will increment to the next
highest (clockwise) or lowest (counterclockwise) setting as the knob is
rotated.
It
is recommended that the setting be increased by increments
of one step level at a time, and then tested
to
see if this setting is
acceptable. The transceiver will continue to receive calls on the last
selected channel while in this mode.
(3) Exit the squelch select mode.
*
Press the SQL key one. The LCD will return to the previous channel
display. The new setting is memorized in eeprom and will remain until
changed by the operator again.
Note: For dual band transceivers, the squelch setting can be done for
both frequency bands by selecting a channel in each band, and
performing procedures
(1)
through (3) above on each channel.
