S-METER SqUELCh
S-meter Squelch causes the squelch to open only when a signal with the same or
greater strength than the S-meter setting is received. This function relieves you
from constantly resetting the squelch when receiving weak stations that you have
no interest in.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 105 (S.SQL) {page 20}.
2 Set the S-Meter squelch to ON or OFF.
3 To select the desired S-meter setting, rotate the left (band A) or right (band B)
SQL control depending on which band you have selected.
• The squelch will open only at the level you have selected (for example, level 9).

Squelch hang Time
When using S-meter Squelch, you may want to adjust the time interval
between when the received signals drop and when the squelch closes.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 106 (S.SQ.HNG) {page 20}.
2 Set the hang time to 125, 250, or 500 ms, or OFF.
ADVANCED INTERCEPT POINT (AIP)
The VHF/UHF band is often crowded in urban areas. AIP helps eliminate
interference and reduce audio distortion caused by intermodulation. You can use
this function only while operating on the VHF/UHF band.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 103 (VHF.AIP) and/or Menu 104
(UHF.AIP) {page 20}.
2 Set the AIP to ON or OFF.
