the noise blanking level {page 53}. To prevent distorting
your receive signal, use the minimum blanking level
necessary.
$6 SQL control
The Squelch control can be used for muting the receiver
during no signal periods. The more clockwise that the
control is turned, the higher the noise threshold level.
Therefore, the stronger the received signal must be to
open the squelch. Leave fully counterclockwise for
weak signal reception {page 19}.
