A squelch circuit allows you to mute undesired noise while receiving no signal and emit audio while receiving signals. This provides quiet standby. The [MONI] key cancels the squelch setting. This is useful to listen to weak signals that do not open the squelch. ✔ Talk Range The IC-F22SR is designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range in the field.
IC-F22SR-(1) 02.3.23 2:29 PM Page 33 (1,1) New master GLOSSARY 8 ✔ What is CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) ? CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) allows communication with silent stand by. Only signals containing your group code can open the squelch. This conveniently eliminates unwanted audio and is useful in group activities or security related activities where unwanted output can be a problem. Note that CTCSS group mode is not private—anyone can receive your calls.
