VX-8GR/GE OPERATING MANUAL14

OPERATION

SQUELCH ADJUSTMENT

The VX-8GR/GE’s 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 pleasant, it also significantly reduces battery current consumption.

1. On the VX-8GR, press the f key, then press the e

key on the left side of the radio. This provides a “Short-

cut” to Set Mode Item 85: SQL LEVEL.

On the VX-8GE, press and hold the m key for one

second to enter the Set Mode, rotate the DIAL knob to

select Set Mode Item 85: SQL LEVEL., then press the

m key briefly to enable selection of this Menu Item.

2. Now, rotate the DIAL knob to the point where the back-

ground noise is just silenced (typically at a setting of about

“3” or “4” on the scale); this is the point of maximum sen-

sitivity to weak signals.

3. When you are satisfied with the Squelch threshold setting, press the PTT key briefly

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

143 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 (sub audible) CTCSS tone. Or if your friends have radios

equipped with DCS (Digital Coded Squelch) like your VX-8GR/GE, try using that mode

for silent monitoring of busy channels.

24-HOUR CLOCK

The VX-8GR/GE has a 24-hour clock with a calendar which covers all dates from

January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2099. Set the clock according to the “Clock

Set” column on page 107.
