settings might only need to be set once.

Setting the Squelch level
The PM-2050 SWF recognizes signals as transmissions if they exceed a signal
strength threshold.
Adjusting the squelch sets this threshold level. Increasing squelch requires a
signal to be stronger to be seen as a transmission. If you set the squelch too
high, you will risk not receiving transmissions that are lower than that threshold.
Reducing the squelch allows weaker signals to be accepted. However, if you
lower the squelch too much, you will hear white noise all the time.
