the repeater is not operating
—or—

SETTING TIGHT OR NORMAL
SQUELCH

calls and/or background noise. However, tightening
squelch could cause calls from remote locations to
be filtered out as well. In this case, normal squelch
may be more desirable.
Press the preprogrammed
Squelch
button to toggle
between tight and normal squelch.

button to
