Using Your Radio
Setting the volume
Turn the VOLUME-POWER knob clockwise to increase the
speaker volume; turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the
volume.
Setting the squelch level
The squelch feature
reduces static on the
speaker by ltering out
any background
channel noise. At the
lowest squelch level,
the speaker plays all
signals, including any
channel noise. Setting
the squelch level higher
lters out noise and lets
only actual radio trans-
missions through.
While listening to a channel, adjust the SQUELCH knob until
the noise is ltered and you can hear only the transmission.
If you switch to a channel with a lot of noise or a weak trans-
mission, you may need to readjust the squelch level again.
Note: Setting the squelch level too high may prevent
you from hearing weaker transmissions. If you are
having difculty hearing a transmission, try setting the
squelch level lower.
