in the speaker adjust the squelch

the keyboard.

for validity when entered and invalid
digits will
not be allowed. Pressing the
CLR key will clear any digits that have
been entered and restore the last
valid frequency that was entered.

frequency 126.525MHz enter the first
five numbers of the frequency.
