VX-7R OPERATING MANUAL 13
OPERATION
SQUELCH ADJUSTMENT
The VX-7Rs Squelch system allows you to mute the background noise when no signal is
being received. Not only does the Squelch system make “standby” operation more pleas-
ant, it also significantly reduces battery current consumption.
The Squelch system may be adjusted independently for the FM and Wide-FM (FM Broad-
cast) modes.
1. Press the key, then press the MONI switch on the left
side of the radio. This provides a “Short-cut” to Menu
Item (

2. Now, press the or key to set the background noise is just silenced (typically at
a setting of about “3” or “4” on the scale); this is point of maximum sensitivity to weak
signals.
3. When you are satisfied with the Squelch threshold setting, press the PTT key momen-
tarily to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
4. You may also adjust the Squelch setting by using the “Set” (Menu) mode. See page 82
for details.
1) The Squelch level may be set on the “Main” and “Sub” bands separately.

If you’re operating in an area of high RF pollution, you may need to
consider “Tone Squelch” operation using the built-in CTCSS Decoder. This
feature will keep your radio quiet until a call is received from a station sending a carrier
which contains a matching (subaudible) CTCSS tone. Or if your friends have radios
equipped with DCS (Digital Coded Squelch) like your VX-7R has, try using that mode
for silent monitoring of busy channels.
