Operation

UNIDEN UH089NB

UHF CB Transceiver

Think of the squelch control as a gate. If you

turn Squelch fully clockwise it raises the

‘Squelch gate’ so high that no signals get 

through.

If you turn the Squelch fully counterclockwise 

it lowers the ‘Squelch Gate’ to the extent that 

all signals get through - weak, medium and 

strong signals and noise.

To set the ‘Squelch Gate’ to the 

desired level, turn the squelch knob 

counterclockwise until you hear noise. 

Then carefully turn the Squelch knob

clockwise until the noise fades. Now only 

strong signals get through.
