Squelch level selection
The adjustable Squelch allows you to optimise the radios sensitivity.
It also allows you to increase the sensitivity and receive weaker
signals.
There are 4 decreasing levels of sensitivity. 1 is the most sensitive,
for detecting the weakest signals. 4 is the least sensitive, for
hearing only stronger signals and cutting out interference from
weak signals.
At higher sensitivity settings it is normal to hear occasionally
background static noise

Channel Scan
Use scan to search the 75 channels for transmissions from
unknown parties, to find someone in your group who has
accidentally changed channels, or to quickly find unused channels
for your own use.
There is a priority feature and 2 modes of scanning (basic and
advanced) to make your search more effective. The basic scan
mode uses the channel and code combinations for each of the 75
channels as you have set them (or with the default code value of 0).
The “Advanced Scan” mode will scan all channels for any and all
codes, detect any code in use, and use that code value temporarily
for that channel.
