Turn the radio on

clock) position.
NOTE:
While 12 o!
clock is a good squelch setting to start with, it may cause
your radio to miss some calls with weak signals. You will probably
want to optimize the squelch setting to set it close to threshold. To
optimize the squelch setting to be close to the best threshold, press
TUNE
, then rotate the squelch control counterclockwise until a
rushing sound is heard from the speaker. Rotate the squelch control

complete, you may press
PGM
to exit TUNE mode.
