Squelch Level
- Squelch silences the receiver when there is no signal.
- UHF Sensitivity can be varied from .1 to .3 mV
- VHF Sensitivity is constant. 1 > 9 = .1 mV
- Level 0 = Open Squelch
- There is little difference between settings.
Level 5 is recommended.

Rec - Digital Coded Squelch
- Prevents interference from
signals on the same frequency.
- The squelch will open only if the
incoming signal is coded with the same tone required by your
receiver.
- Note: Not all repeaters requiring a tone for access
transmit a tone back to you. Leave this
function turned OFF unless you are absolutely sure it is needed.
