To listen to a weak or distant station, turn
SQUELCH
counterclockwise.

To ensure proper scanning, adjust
SQUELCH
until the audio mutes.
Manually Selecting a Channel

you want to monitor a specific channel or if you hear an emergency broadcast and
do not want to miss any details, even though there might be periods of silence.
To directly access a channel:
1. Press
SCAN/MAN
to stop scanning.
2. Enter the bank and channel number and press
SCAN/MAN
. The
selected channel appears.
