POWER SWITCH / VOLUME CONTROL (VOL/PWR)
Turns the transceiver on and off as well as adjusts the audio volume.
Press and hold this knob for one second to turn the radio on. Clockwise
rotation of this knob increases the audio volume level.
Press and hold this knob for two seconds to turn the radio off.
SQUELCH CONTROL (SQL)
Adjusting this control clockwise, sets the point at which random noise on
the channel does not activate the audio circuits but a received signal does.
This point is called the squelch threshold. Further adjustment of the squelch
control will degrade reception of wanted transmissions.
