Basic Operation Note: Fold out the illustration from the Back Cover to see the Controls and Indicators while reading this Guide. How Squelch Works Think of "SQUELCH" as a gate. If the gate is too low (squelch too low), everything (all noise as well as signals) gets through. If the gate is set too high (squelch too high), nothing gets through. If the gate is set just right (squelch set properly), just the desired signals get through. The BC860XLT Squelch has two options. AUTO Squelch - a level preset at the factory; and Manual Squelch, where you can set the squelch level as needed by conditions. 9

How Squelch Works
Think of “SQUELCH” as a gate.
If the
gate is too low (squelch too low),
everything (all noise as well as signals)
gets through.
If the gate is set too high (squelch too
high), nothing gets through.
If the gate is set just right (squelch set
properly), just the desired signals get
through.
The
BC

Squelch
- a level preset at the factory;
and Manual Squelch, where you can set the squelch level as needed by conditions.
