Hearing faint and noisy signals
Your radio’s squelch mute (known as ‘squelch’) prevents you from
hearing faint or noisy calls on a channel. On occasions when you
want to hear everything that is being said on a channel, even if it
is hard to understand, you can use the squelch override function
to force the mute open.
While squelch override is on, the LED slowly flashes green and
appears in the display.
Squelch override cannot be activated when a group is selected,
and automatically turns off when you select a group or activate
background scan.

■
