To Squelch Your Radio:
1. With the Squelch knob turned fully counter-clockwise, turn
the On-Off/Volume knob clockwise until you hear
a hissing (noise) sound.
2. Turn the Squelch knob clockwise until the hissing
sound stops.
Turning the Squelch knob further clockwise (higher barrier)
will filter weak and medium strength signals until only the
strongest signal can get through at the highest squelch setting.
The Squelch bar graph will be shown to indicate the Squelch
setting. 2 seconds after finishing the Squelch adjustment, the
radio will return to the Standby mode.
To Receive Weaker Signals:
1. Turn the Squelch knob counterclockwise (lower barrier).
If the squelch is set so that you can hear a continuous hissing
sound, the memory scan and tri-watch functions will be blocked.
