How Squelch Works Think of “SQUELCH” as a gate. If the gate is set too low (SQUELCH too low), everything (all noise as well as signals) gets through. If the gate is set too high (SQUELCH too high), nothing gets through. If the gate is set just right (SQUELCH set properly), just the desired signals get through. 12 H:...Bc60xlt.vp Mon Aug 30 15:3[...]

Setting the Squelch 1. Turn until hiss heard. This action lowers the “squelch gate,” allowing all signals and noise to get through. No signal should be present when adjusting squelch. Scanner doesn’t scan with squelch open. 2. Turn just until hiss stops. This action raises the “squelch gate,” allowing only strong signals to get through. S[...]
