Volume and Squelch
The Volume and Squelch controls have each knob. They are independent controls but
work together to control audio output from the speaker. The volume control sets the
loudness of sound from the speaker and the squelch control is used to mute
background noise when no received signals are present.
To properly set the Volume and Squelch controls:
•
Rotate the
SQ
knob fully CCW.
• Rotate the PWR/VOL knob CW until background noise is plainly heard.
• Slowly rotate the SQ knob CW until the noise is muted (squelched). Then adjust
the control slightly more CW (approximately 1/8 turn). Use care not to set the
SQ control more CW than necessary or weak signals may not be heard.
