Squelch
The EZ Scan-SD is equipped with a top mounted squelch
control. The squelch control acts as a gate for the transmissions
that EZ Scan-SD receives. When the squelch control is rotated
fully clockwise, only stronger signals will pass through the
squelch gate, and weaker signals may not be received. When
the squelch is rotated fully counterclockwise, the squelch gate
will be open even when no signal is present, causing EZ Scan-
SD to operate slowly or to stop on objects where no transmission
is present, playing noise only. The EZ Scan-SD works best when
the gate is set so that it is closed when no transmissions are
present, but able to open when a transmission occurs.
The ideal setting for the squelch control is between 11 and 12
o
ʼ
clock. If you find that you are missing some transmissions, try
setting the squelch control further counterclockwise. If you find
that the EZ Scan-SD seems to be scanning very slowly or
stopping on frequencies with noise only, rotate the squelch
control clockwise until normal scanning resumes again.
Understanding the Display
Your EZ Scan-SD features a high contrast, backlit Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) to provide you with information about the status of
the EZ Scan-SD while you are using it. A menu-driven user
interface provides access to the settings that control what the EZ
Scan-SD monitors. Figure 4 shows an example of an EZ Scan-
SD menu.
