With the squelch set all the way clockwise, it scans the entire band without finding anything. If I put the squelch all the way counterclockwise, it stops the search as it finds static. Perhaps the squelch should be set differently? George, the usual way to set the squelch is to start all the way clockwise (fully on), begin scanning, and slowly turn the squelch anti-clockwise until you hear noise--that is, until the squelch is below the ambient noise level. From that point, turn the squelch back clockwise enough to make the noise stop, plus just a bit more. With the squelch set all the way ON, as you had it, only a very strong nearby signal will be enough to break the squelch, so this may well be why you aren't hearing anything yet! Good luck! _______________________________________________ Ken Kuzenski AC4RD ken . kuzenski at duke .edu _______________________________________________ All disclaimers apply, see? www.duke.edu/~kuzen001 |
