Operation
Turn On and Set Squelch
Your radio automatically tunes to channel 16 — the United States Coast
Guard frequency for distress, safety, and calling.
1. Turn
Vol
knob clockwise until you hear
a beep.
2. Continue until you hear a hissing sound.
3. Press
sQuElCh
until the hissing stops.
NOTE
Make sure to first select a channel not in use before setting
squelch.
Think of the squelch control as a gate. If you
increase the squelch level to maximum, it raises
the “Squelch Gate” so only the strongest signals
get through.
If you decrease the squelch level to minimum,
it lowers the “Squelch Gate”’ to the extent that
weak signals can get through.
If unwanted weak and noisy signals are getting
through, increase the squelch level (raise the
“Squelch Gate”) to a medium level. Now only
medium and strong signals get through.
Your radio’s Squelch has 4 setting level — level 0 to level 3 (Tight):
S0 - monitor mode
S1 - minimum squelch (default)
