What else can tone key squelch be used for?

This may include battery voltage, transmitter audio gain settings, transmitter type, and transmitter power level.

What should my squelch be set at?

Ideally, the squelch level should be set just above the background radio noise level or at the point where the desired signal is becoming too noisy to be acceptable. Higher settings of squelch level require higher received signal strength to unmute the receiver.

What is a squelch key?

Essentially, squelch is a specialized type of noise gate designed to suppress weak signals. Squelch is used in two-way radios and VHF/UHF radio scanners to eliminate the sound of noise when the radio is not receiving a desired transmitter.

What causes a microphone to squeal?

As discussed, microphone feedback is a positive feedback loop that causes the microphone and loudspeaker to rapidly feed each other more and more signal until the system overloads. This loop causes the microphone signal to distort and the loudspeaker to project a gross screeching, humming, or whistling noise.

What makes a squelching sound?

To squelch means to make a wet, sucking sound, like the sound you make when you are walking on wet, muddy ground.

What does CTCSS and DCS mean?

CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) uses continuous tones below 300 Hz whereas DCS (Digital-Coded System) uses digital data or encoded-words which are very unique and all encoded words can be used on the same channel without interference.

How do I make my microphone not screech?

Here are a few suggestions for controlling feedback:

  1. Change the position of the microphone and/or speaker so that the speaker output isn’t feeding directly into the mic.
  2. Use a more directional microphone.
  3. Speak (or sing) close to the microphone.
  4. Turn the microphone off when not in use.

How do I stop my mic from whistling?

Point the microphone away from any speakers it’s connected to.

  1. Try using a directional or cardioid microphone because they only pick up sounds from what they’re pointed at.
  2. Avoid using an omnidirectional microphone if you can since it captures audio from every angle and is prone to feedback.

What is a squelch tail?

It is most commonly referred to as Squelch Tail Elimination, or STE. Motorola calls their iteration of it reverse burst. In simple terms, the feature mutes or eliminates the squelch burst often heard at the end of a transmission as the PTT is released.
