Adjusting the Audio Output 

The Receiver Output Volume is displayed in the lower 
right  corner  of  the  LCD  display.  Output  level  can  be 
adjusted by pressing the SET button 3 times to scroll 
to  the  Volume  setting.  When  the  Volume  indicator  is 
flashing, use the   UP/   DOWN buttons to select a 
volume  setting  between  0–63.  The  Volume  indicator 
will stop flashing after 10 seconds and the new value 
is stored.

Adjusting the Squelch 

SQUELCH adjusts the Receiver’s sensitivity to RF signals. 
A high SQUELCH setting typically reduces the chance 
of  RF  interference,  but  lowers  the  useable  operating 
distance.  A  low  SQUELCH  setting  typically  increases 
operating  distance,  but  increases  the  possibility  of 
unwanted interference.

The  SQUELCH  control  on  the  DR-R40  receiver 
simultaneously controls both the A and B True Diversity 
receiver  sections.  The  control  should  be  adjusted 
counterclockwise to the minimum RF squelch setting at 
which the RF Level Meter and the Diversity Indicator will 
remain lit while your transmitter is in normal use, up to 
its anticipated maximum operating range. However, in 
areas of high RF activity, the squelch control may need 
to be adjusted clockwise. 

If the transmitter is off and both the receiver signal and 
diversity indicators are flickering or stay lit continuously, 
the  SQUELCH  should  be  adjusted  to  a  higher  level 
(clockwise  for  less  mute  sensitivity  level).  Be  careful 
not to select too high a clockwise setting, as this may 
reduce  the  operating  range  below  what  is  needed. 
A  range  walk  test  will  help  in  selecting  the  proper 
level. If the range is not critical, note that a clockwise 
(max SQUELCH) setting will also yield a quieter mute 
function, which might be desired in certain applications. 
Also  note  that  the  SQUELCH  level  is  factory  preset 
at  maximum  sensitivity  and  operating  range  (i.e.  turn 
counterclockwise to MIN).
