Setting the Auto Squelch
The Auto Squelch feature is available only when the
optional Remote SPK/MIC is connected. It has an Off
setting and 3 preset squelch levels:
oFF - Auto Squelch OFF
1 - max sensitivity (min squelch)
2 - med sensitivity (med squelch)
3 - min sensitivity (max/tight squelch)
It requires no adjustment.
1. Press
[SQL/MON]
on the Remote SPK/MIC. The squelch setting flashes.
2. Rotate the channel knob at the base or press on the Remote SPK/MIC to
change the setting. RSQ icon displays when Auto Squelch is active. If tight squelch
is selected SQT icon will also flash.
3. Press
[MENU/ENTER]
to store the setting.
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.
