Using Your Radio

Setting the volume

Turn the

VOLUME-POWER

knob clockwise to increase the

speaker volume; turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the

volume.

Setting the squelch level

The squelch feature

reduces static on the

speaker by filtering out

any background

channel noise. At the

lowest squelch level,

the speaker plays all

signals, including any

channel noise. Setting

the squelch level higher

filters out noise and lets

only actual radio trans-

missions through.
While listening to a channel, adjust the

SQUELCH

knob until

the noise is filtered and you can hear only the transmission.

If you switch to a channel with a lot of noise or a weak trans-

mission, you may need to readjust the squelch level again.

Note: Setting the squelch level too high may prevent

you from hearing weaker transmissions. If you are

having difficulty hearing a transmission, try setting the

squelch level lower.
