S-METER SQUELCH

By activating S-meter Squelch, the squelch does not open
until a signal with the same or greater strength than the
S-meter setting is received. This function is useful to
eliminate constantly resetting the squelch when receiving
weak stations that you have no interest in. You can set a
different S-meter value on each band.

1 Select the desired band.

2 Press [MNU] to enter Menu mode.

3 Select Menu No. 13 (S-Meter).

or right (UHF) SQL control depending on which band
you selected.
