SILENT SQUELCH TAIL
The Squelch Tail is the short burst of noise that is heard in the speaker at the end of a transmission
before the Squelch closes. To some it is a reassuring conrmation that it is their turn to transmit but in
some applications it may be an annoyance especially when listening through an earpiece or headphones.
The Silent Squelch Tail function removes this Squelch tail, reducing it to a faint click as the Squelch
closes.
