This function is used to listen to weak signals, without dis-

squelch manually, even when mute functions such as the
tone squelch are in use.

The [SQL] switch can be set to a ‘sticky’ operation in the
Expand set mode. See page 49 for details.
■ Attenuator function
The attenuator prevents a received signal from distorting
when very strong signals are near a desired frequency, or
when very strong electric fields, such as from a broadcasting
station, are near your location.
➥ While holding down [FUNC], push [ATT](SQL) to turn the
attenuator function ON or OFF.

When the signal is received by the bar antenna, this func-
tion is not effective.
