S-METER SQUELCH
S-meter Squelch causes the squelch to open only when a signal with the same or
greater strength than the S-meter setting is received. This function relieves you
from constantly resetting the squelch when receiving weak stations that you have
no interest in.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 105 (S.SQL) {page 20}.
2 Set the S-Meter squelch to ON or OFF.
3 To select the desired S-meter setting, rotate the left (band A) or right (band B)
SQL control depending on which band you have selected.
The squelch will open only at the level you have selected (for example, level 9).
n Squelch Hang Time
When using S-meter Squelch, you may want to adjust the time interval
between when the received signals drop and when the squelch closes.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 106 (S.SQ.HNG) {page 20}.
2 Set the hang time to 125 or 500 ms, or OFF.
ADVANCED INTERCEPT POINT (AIP)
The VHF/UHF band is often crowded in urban areas. AIP helps eliminate
interference and reduce audio distortion caused by intermodulation. You can use
this function only while operating on the VHF/UHF band.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 103 (VHF.AIP) and/or Menu 104
(UHF.AIP) {page 20}.
2 Set the AIP to ON or OFF.
