The SDM600 series radios have a carrier noise mute and it is recommended that a
default mute setting of 4 is used. This means that, with a setting of 4, the mute will
open at the point where an analogue signal is sufficiently noise free to be intelligible.
Other settings are as follows:
n 0 - No muting Allows all decodable signals to the radio user’s audio output device
(loudspeaker, headset etc.).
n 4 - Normal default setting.
n 8 - Only reasonably strong signals will be heard.
n 15 - Only very strong or near perfect signals will be heard.
Use the ▴ and ▾ keys to adjust the mute threshold. Press the Select key to save the
selected mute setting and return to the previous screen.
