Adjusting the Squelch Level
The purpose of the squelch is to mute the speaker when no signals
are present.While opening the squelch, you will hear the back-
ground noise from the speaker; while closing the squelch, you will
not hear it.
The selected squelch level will determine how strong the signal
must be for openig and closing the squelch.If the selected squelch
level is too high, you will fail to receive weak signals; if the
selected squelch level is too low, you will open the squelch easily
and hear the background noise.

When the channel is called, the LCD displays how strong the signal
is, and you will hear the call. If the signal is weak and you have set a
high squelch level, you may fail to hear the call.
If the CTCSS or DCS signaling has been programmed in your
transceiver, you can only hear the call from the transmitter who has
the same signaling. All the other calls will not be heard.
The transceiver has three display modes: memory frequency mode,
full-frequency display mode and channel mode.

ceiver to switch between channel mode and memory frequency
mode.

display mode and memory frequency mode.
In the memory frequency mode or channel mode, selecting channel is
available.Rotate the Channel Selector to select the desired channel.

kwise to decrease it.
You can input the channel number directly by the keypad.
