control left or right (or press the + or – keys) to adjust the
volume.

un-mute the radio then adjust the Volume control while
listening to the background noise. when finished, briefly
press the SQl key again to re-mute the radio.

NOTE:

volume to be heard in a quiet cabin environment.

(or press the

or keys

). rotate the Channel control

clockwise (or press ) to select a higher channel or counter
clockwise (or press ) to select lower channels. the selected

SqUELCh

the squelch is used to eliminate any annoying background
noise when there are no signals present. the squelch can
be opened or closed using the SQl key. when the squelch
is open the receiver’s background noise can be heard and
the symbol is displayed. when the squelch is closed the
receiver remains quiet while there are no signals present but
any incoming signals will override the squelch and be heard
in the speaker.

adjusting the Squelch level

the squelch sensitivity level has been factory set to provide
optimum performance under most operating conditions. If
required, the sensitivity level can be adjusted to suit
changing conditions.

to adjust the squelch sensitivity, briefly press the Channel
control (or lVl key). the channel display will show the
current squelch level setting in values from SQl-1 to SQl-9.
rotate the Channel control (or press the or

keys on

the controller microphone) to change the squelch setting.
A squelch setting of SQl-1 allows the squelch to open on
very weak signals whereas a setting of SQl-9 requires much
stronger signals to overcome the squelch. After adjusting the
squelch sensitivity, briefly press the Channel control (or lVl
key) to return to normal operation.

NOTE:

the squelch level can be actively adjusted while the

radio is scanning. this allows you to tighten the squelch in
cases where an undesired weak or noisy signal is interrupting
the scan.

SIGNAL MEtEr

the signal meter indicates the relative strength of the
incoming signal in numerical format. signal strengths are
displayed on the lower left of the channel Display in values
from 0 to 9. signals above strength 9 are displayed as 9+.

NOTE:

refer to the Configuration Menu for other options

that can be displayed in this location.
