Audiovox FR-314 - Manual (Page 18)

Adjusting the Squelch
The FR-314 has 5 different squelch settings. These settings deter-
mine the strength that an incoming signal must have in order to be
played by the FR-314’s internal speaker or through a headset. The
higher the setting, the stronger the signal must be in order for the
FR-314 to play it. If you desire to communicate with other transceiv-
ers in close proximity, the squelch should be set high to eliminate
unwanted weak signals. If the transceiver is being used at extreme
range, the squelch should be set low to allow reception of weak
signals. Level 0 will bypass the squelch entirely. For standard use,
level 2 is recommended.
The procedure for adjusting the squelch begins with the FR-314
turned off. While pressing and holding the function button and the
up or down button, turn the unit on. The display will show “
” and
the current squelch level will flash on the LCD. Use the up or down
buttons to adjust the level. The FR-314 will return to the standby
state if no buttons are pressed for 10 seconds, or if the call or PTT
buttons are pressed.
