Property 0x3303. AM_SOFT_MUTE_SNR_THRESHOLD
Sets the SNR threshold to engage soft mute. Whenever the SNR for a tuned frequency drops below this threshold
the AM reception will go in soft mute, provided soft mute max attenuation property is non-zero. The CTS bit (and
optional interrupt) is set when it is safe to send the next command. This property may only be set or read when in
powerup mode. The default SNR threshold is 10 dB.

AM Soft Mute SNR Threshold.
The SNR threshold for a tuned frequency below which soft mute is engaged provided
the value written to the AM_SOFT_MUTE_MAX_ATTENUATION property is not zero.
Default SNR threshold is 10 dB.
