Adjusting squelch (muting)

Particularily in FM, noise can be a nuisance on a free channel. With the muting
control (SQUELCH) you can suppress this noise - but also signals which are too
weak to be received properly.
This is how to adjust the signal strength required to switch on the loudspeaker, using
the SQUELCH control knob:
The further the control knob is turned clockwise, the stronger a signal has to be in
order to be audible through the loudspeaker.
In order to adjust the set to be the most sensitive to incoming signals, switch to a free
channel:
• Use the UP / DOWN switches to find a free channel, where no signal is
displayed.
• Then turn the SQUELCH control carefully to the right until the noise just
about disappears.
Now the loudspeaker stays off when on a free channel but it switches back on when
receiving even very weak signals.
The muting adjustment is particularly important during channel
scanning. In this mode the point to which the set is adjusted
decides whether scanning is stopped at the signal or not.
AM – FM on the front side allows as well
