11. ch other Please be careful with the squelch circuit it may suppress noise but if turned too tigh it can also suppress weaker signals There is a double potentiometer for both SQUELCH and ASC setting The inner ring is for SQUELCH the outer ring is for ASC This is how to adjust the signal strength required to switch on the loudspeaker using the inner SQUELCH control knob The further the control knob is turned to the right the stronger a signal has to be in order to be audible through the loudspeaker In order to adjust the set to be the most sensitive to incoming signals switch to a free channel e Use the rotary switch or the microphone buttons to find a free channel where no signal is displayed e Then turn the SQUELCH control carefully to the right until the noise just about disappears Now the loudspeaker stays off when on a free channel but it switches back on when receiving even very faint signals The muting adjustment is particularly important during channel scanning In this mode the point to which the set is adjusted decides whether scanning is stopped at the signal or not Therefore you should test the various muting settings for various signal strengths and get to know this function ASC Noise and Interference Reduction While the Squelch opens and closes statically at a certain preadjusted value of the incoming signal not taking into account interference signals the ASC circuit works very smooth and dynamic
