➥
Rotate [RF] control clockwise to increase, counter-
clockwise to decrease the receiver sensitivity.
NOTE:
When [RF] control is adjusted CCW in FM mode,
audio output decreases then disappears. This is
normal, not a malfunction.

Squelch level adjustment
The squelch mutes noise output from the speaker
(closed squelch) when no signal is received.

When no signal is received, rotate [SQL] control
fully counterclockwise first, then rotate [SQL] clock-

• Hold down [XFC] to open the squelch temporarily.
