The squelch is a function for eliminating noise when no signals
are present.

signals stronger than the squelch level you set.
• There are 10 squelch levels. (0-9)
• Default is set to 3.
1. Press the dial twice.
"
" will be displayed on the LCD indicating the present
squelch level.
2. Adjust the squelch level by rotating the dial.
When you set it to a higher level, weak signals would be
interrupted while monitoring or would not be monitored at all.
Generally, you should set the squelch to the lowest level where
noise would be eliminated.
Depending on the monitored frequencies and the conditions of
the circumstances around you, the squelch level may need to
be adjusted.

setting and to return to the operating mode.
