SQL Squelch or Threshold Level knob. Sets the threshold level for the minimum
receiver signal.
Turn fully anti-clockwise (left) until random noise is heard, then turn slowly
clockwise (right) until the random noise disappears. Make another ¼ turn clockwise
for best reception in open sea conditions.
In areas of high noise (eg close to large cities) reception may improve if sensitivity is
reduced by turning SQL slowly clockwise (right). Also see REJ (noise rejection) and
LOC (Local mode) because these may also improve reception quality.
88/9 Priority Channel (Australia). Also on the microphone. Press to cancel all other
modes and tune into the priority channel (CH88 if MB is selected, or CH9 if CB

In countries other than Australia, consult your dealer about your local priority
channels.
