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).

you selected.
