Noise squelch
The Noise Squelch allows the audio to be heard only while
receiving a signal that includes less noise than a set level.
•
Activates when the squelch level is set to between 30%
and 50% in the FM, AM, S-AM or DIGITAL mode.
•
A higher level blocks weak signals. A lower level allows
you to hear weak signals including noise.
L
While the squelch is closed, the noise audio is muted and
the [RECEIVE] indicator is OFF.
D
S-meter squelch
The S-meter Squelch mutes the speaker sounds when the
signal strength is less than the set value.
•
Activates when the squelch level is set to between 50% and
100% in any mode.
•
The squelch level is indicated by the position of “▼.”
L
When the received signal is stronger than the S-meter
squelch level designated by the “▼,” the squelch opens.
