■ Squelch level setting
The squelch circuit mutes the received audio signal, depend-
ing on the signal strength. The receiver has 9 squelch levels,
a continuously open setting and an automatic setting.
➥ While holding down [SQL], rotate [DIAL] to select the
squelch level.
• “LEVEL 1” is loose squelch (for weak signals) and “LEVEL 9” is
tight squelch (for strong signals).
• “AUTO” indicates the automatic level adjustment using a noise
pulse count system.
• “OPEN” indicates the continuously open setting.

The receiver has three receive modes, FM, AM and WFM.
The mode selection is independently stored in each band

WFM is used for FM broadcast stations (76–107.9 MHz).
