If an incoming signal is very weak there is a possibility that you
will have a choppy or broken reception, due to the sensitivity of
the squelch. In this case, simply rotate the [SQ] counter clock-
wise until the weak signal is heard clearly.
Make sure to first select a channel not in use before setting the
squelch in your uh078sx Deluxe.
SQUELCH
The squelch is used to eliminate any annoying background noise when there
are no signals present.
Think of squelch as a gate.
Turn [SQ] fully clockwise. This raises the “Squelch
Gate” so high that only the very strong signals can
get through.
Turn [SQ] fully counter clockwise until you hear a
hiss. This opens the “Squelch Gate” so that
everything gets through noise, weak signal, and
strong signals.
To set the “Squelch Gate” to the desired level, turn
[SQ] counter-clockwise until you hear noise. Then
turn the [SQ] clockwise just until the noise
stopped. Now only the desired signal can get
through.
