Squelch
The Squelch function suppresses noises on free channels and allows to
receive even weak signals.
D-200 has 10 different Squelch levels that can be set by programming
software: 0 means that the Squelch is turned off; from level 1 to level 9
you will have different levels of noise reduction. The higher is the level,
the louder will be the Squelch.
By default, the Squelch level of D-200 is set on level 6.
Make sure you do not set an excessively high squelch level because in this
case you may not be able to receive weaker signals. On the other hand an
excessively low Squelch value could enable the Squelch even when no si-
gnals are present.
Squelch must always be adjusted when no signals are present (in PMR446
channels).
Voice
With this function the radio emits a vocal announcement indicating the
channel that you have just selected by rotating the channel knob. The vo-
cal announcement can be enabled through the programming software.
