• If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or
very weak transmissions, turn
SQ
clockwise
to decrease the scanner’s sensitivity to these
signals. If you want to listen to a weak or
distant station, turn
SQ
counterclockwise.
• If
SQ
is adjusted so you always hear a hissing
sound, the scanner will not scan properly.
• If
SQ
is adjusted precisely at the threshold
where the hissing sound stops, the radio will
be most sensitive to very weak signals. The
radio may also receive unwanted noise or
signals that are too weak to understand. Most
users prefer to position the squelch control
a little bit past the point of threshold to avoid
receiving noise or signals that are too weak to
understand.
