NOTE: The digital mode operation is vastly different from
FM mode. One of the differences is that in digital mode the
squelch does not function as in FM mode. Changing the
squelch setting will not open it to hear the hiss of “White
Noise.” It only activates for digital squelch functions such
as CSQL
(Digital code squelch)
or DSQL
(Digital call sign
squelch)
.
