IC-A110EURO-2 02.3.12 2:00 PM 2 Page h (1,1) BASIC OPERATION ■ Squelch function ■ Dial select function The transceiver has a noise squelch circuit to mute undesired noise while receiving no signal. Use the dial select function to adjust the tuning behaviour of the [DIAL] keys—use 1 MHz tuning when you want to change the frequency in large increments; use regular tuning (25 kHz or 8.33 kHz) when you want to change the frequency in smaller increments.
