After using the rig for a couple of years I am still frustrated by its squelch control. This, like most of the settings, is controlled by altering a programmable setting. To do it you press key 9 which has the SQL legend on it. Then you use the main rotary control or one of the number keys to set squelch between 0 and 9, then finally pressing the MENU button.
In practice I have found that the squelch breaks with a regular on/off on/off, almost like a load ticking noise, when there is a weak station in range. This becomes annoying after a while as it is just a noise you can do without.
To open the squelch completely you either have to set it at 0 or press the side button on the microphone.
I prefer continuously variable analog squelch controls and one of my ancient FM 1970s transceivers is eminently better than this rig. Most of the time I leave the Wouxun at squelch 9 as this seems to cause the less noise. Although you miss out on weak stations with this setting.
DANKE für den Hinweis.-
