keys are held
down, the internal microprocessor is reset. This clears the memory and all
user-programmed settings, such as scan memory, and priority scan as-
signments. This condition is known as the default condition, the same as
when shipped from the factory. For a list of these defaults, see the section
6.23 Resetting the Transceiver’s Microprocessor.
NOTE
Resetting the microprocessor will not erase the DSC MMSI and the
Individual Directory Call information.
SQUELCH CONTROL
(
SQL
)
Adjusting this control clockwise, sets the point at which random noise on
the channel does not activate the audio circuits but a received signal does.
This point is called the squelch threshold. Further adjustment of the squelch
control will degrade reception of wanted transmissions.
