7.3 Functions and operations
(1) Squelch level (SQL) - MENU No.0
Thanks to this function you can adjust the squelch in 10 different levels:
•
level 0
: opened squelch. With this setting, UV5R PRO will detect all signals, also the weakest ones, but will also receive the
background noise or undesired signals.
•
levels 1- 9
: level 1 (lowest squelch level), level 9 (highest squelch level).
If the squelch is set to the highest level, the radio will receive the strongest signals only.
(2) Step frequency (STEP) - MENU No.1
This function lets you select the desired frequency step.
The selectable steps are the following: 2.5/5.0/6.25/10.0/12.5/20.0/25.0/50.0 KHz
Note: in channel mode, this function cannot be modified.
