absence of a signal. Turn the control fully counterclockwise then slowly rotate it
back clockwise until all noise disappears. At this setting any signal must be
slightly stronger man the background noise to “break squelch" and be heard.
Further clockwise rotation increases the threshold level below which weak signals
