Adjusting the squelch sets this threshold level. Increasing
squelch requires a signal to be stronger to be seen as a
transmission. If you set the squelch too high, you will risk not
receiving transmissions that are lower than that threshold.
Reducing the squelch allows weaker signals to be accepted.
However, if you lower the squelch too much, you will hear
white noise all the time
While listening to a channel, press and hold VOL/SQ to enter

difculty hearing a transmission, try setting the squelch
level lower.
