SQUELCH
The squelch is used to eliminate any annoying background noise when
there are no signals present.
Think of squelch as a gate. Turn [SQ] fully
clockwise. This raises the ”Squelch Gate” so
high that only the very strong signals can get
through.
(Make sure to first select a channel not in use
before setting the squelch in your UH-052XR
UHF-CB radio.)
Turn [SQ] fully counter clockwise until
you hear a hiss. This opens the “Squelch
Gate” so that everything gets through -
noise, weak signal, and strong signals.
To set the “Squelch Gate” to the desired
level, turn
[SQ] counter-clockwise until you
hear noise. Then turn the [SQ] clockwise
just until the noise stopped. Now only the
desired signal can get through.
Note: If an incoming signal is very weak
there is a possibility that you will have a
choppy or broken reception, due to the
sensitivity of the squelch. In this case, simply
rotate the [SQ] clockwise until the weak
signal is heard clearly.
