Hearing faint and noisy signals
Your radio’s squelch allows the radio to unmute only when
the strength of the incoming signal is above a predetermined
threshold. This means that only signals of reasonable intelli-
gibility are made audible. To make faint and noisy signals
audible, use the squelch override function to unmute
the radio.
To activate squelch override, you may be able to either:
■
use a programmed function key, or
■
use the Main menu.
