How Squelch Works
Think of “SQUELCH” as a
gate.
If the gate is set too low
(SQUELCH too low),
everything (all noise as
well as signals) gets
through.
If the gate is set too high
(SQUELCH too high),
nothing gets through.
If the gate is set just right
(SQUELCH set properly),
just the desired signals
get through.

Setting the Squelch
1. Turn until hiss heard.
This action lowers the
“squelch gate,” allowing
all signals and noise to
get through.
No signal should be
present when adjusting
squelch.
Scanner doesn’t scan
with squelch open.
2. Turn just until hiss stops.
This action raises the
“squelch gate,” allowing
only strong signals to get
through.
Scanner should begin
scanning after two
seconds.
Note:You must have at
least one channel
programmed before the
BC60XLTwill scan.
