6.3 Temporarily Disabling the Squelch (Squelch Off)
Squelch Off is the function to unmute the speaker.
Enabling Squelch Off disables the signaling decode by QT/DQT, and the speaker is unmuted.
Squelch Off can be toggled between enabled and disabled when a PF key is operated, when a signal is applied to
an AUX Input port, or when the repeater is turned on.

If the Squelch Off Momentary key is pressed, Squelch Off is enabled while the key is pressed and held.
Note
When the repeater is operated in the repeater mode, even if Squelch Off is enabled, the repeater does not transmit using the
Repeat PTT control unless the received signaling (the QT tone or DQT code) matches the signaling preconfigured for the
repeater (the QT tone or DQT code).
6.4

Adjusting the Reception Sensitivity of the Repeater (Squelch Level)

Squelch Level is the threshold receive level by which the repeater can determine that the received signal has a
carrier.
If the repeater is not receiving any signals, noise is automatically eliminated. Only when the repeater receives the
signal having the higher level than the configured signal level, the squelch opens and the received audio becomes
audible.
The level of the received signal which unmutes the speaker can be adjusted by changing the value in Squelch
Level depending on how the repeater is used; for instance, when an excessively interfering signal is present.
If the repeater receives a signal, the speaker is usually unmuted and emits the received audio at the point adjusted
by Squelch Open; however, if the maximum value of 15 is configured in Squelch Level, the speaker is unmuted at
the point adjusted by Squelch Tight. If a value of 0 is configured in Squelch Level, the repeater is always placed in
receive mode.
If no signaling used for reception (the QT tone or DQT code) is configured, the speaker is unmuted on a channel
with "Analog" or "Mixed" configured in Channel Type.
