S
QUELCH
When no signals are present, the squelch on the transceiver
automatically mutes the speaker so you will not hear
background noise. You can however, deactivate the squelch.
This feature is useful for a variety of reasons:
• It allows you to confirm the channel activity so that you
don’t make a call while another party is using the same
channel.
• It allows you to adjust the volume level without having to
wait for a call.
• When receiving a call that is intermittent due to a weak
signal, disabling the squelch will allow you to listen to the
call without it continuously cutting out.
1 Enter the Menu Settings (page 12) and
press the
▲ or ▼ key until you reach the
“ ” (Squelch) display.
2 Press the key to turn the squelch
function ON ( ) or OFF ( ).
3 Press the PTT switch to confirm your
setting.
• If you have turned the squelch function
OFF, the busy icon appears on the
display.
Note: Turning the transceiver power OFF will reset the squelch to its
default setting. When the transceiver is turned back ON, squelch is
also automatically turned ON.
