ADJUSTING VOLUME
Turn the
VOL
control clockwise to increase the audio level
and counterclockwise to decrease the level.
ADJUSTING SQUELCH
The purpose of squelch is to silence audio output from the
speaker when no signals are present. When squelch is set
correctly, you will hear sound only while a station is actually
being received. The point at which ambient noise on a
frequency just disappears, called the squelch threshold,
depends on the frequency.
Turn the
SQL
control clockwise to just eliminate the
background noise when no signal is present.
