■ Squelch level setting
The squelch function sets a minimum receive signal level
below which no audio is sent to the speaker. This prevents
static or hiss from being heard through the speaker between
transmissions.
A higher squelch setting removes weak signals. The remove
level is displayed on the S-meter (S-meter squelch). The squelch
does not open if a signal below the set S-meter level is received.

• Right-click to increase the squelch level (tight squelch).
• Left-click to decrease the squelch level (loose squelch).
• When clicking and holding zSQUELCHx, the squelch level scrolls
up or down.
