Receiver
Squelch
The squelch circuit prevents unwanted interference from
compromising your audio. If the signal falls below a certain
level, the output of the receiver is muted.
Squelch should be set at a level that is slightly above the
level of audible interference.
Note: A high squelch setting requires a strong signal
from the transmitter. Since the transmitter signal strength
decreases with distance, a high squelch setting will decrease
the range of your wireless system.
To activate squelch and set the level, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the Set button to enter menu mode.
2. Scroll to [
ADVANCED MENU ], and press the Set button.
3. In the advanced menu, scroll to [
SQUELCH ], and press the
Set button. The menu selection will blink.
4. Use the Up/Down buttons to select [
HIGH ], [ MEDIUM ],
[ LOW ], or [ OFF ]. Press the Set button to save the setting.
Important! If you are experiencing a great deal of
interference even when squelch is activated, scan for a clear
frequency or channel (see Auto Frequency Scanning on
page 14).
Pilot Tone
Pilot tone is an additional dimension of protection against
unwanted interference. A 32.768 kHz tone is added to the
signal from the transmitter. If the receiver doesn’t detect this
tone, it mutes the output. Without pilot tone, the receiver
might not mute a strong interfering signal. Unless you’re
confident that there’s no RF interference in your area, it’s
recommended to use the pilot tone at all times.
