Understanding squelch on radio scanners and receivers

How to use Squelch on radio receivers

[@fenrislegacy]

Thanks for the clear explanations. I was gifted an old Realistic Pro-36, yesterday, and was trying to figure out the purpose of the squelch.

[@markcancellara]

just like a noise gate.. you set the threshold for the gate to open and let the sound through..
Thanks for video..many years ago

[@mjstockinger]

Very helpful and informative. Thanks for posting.

Thank you , your video help me a lot!

[@KandiKlover]

I set it a tiny bit higher than the threshold because I find at times it can be a little slow to close after a transmission and does static for a split second. Also it can make the scanning rate slower too.

You are very good at explaining, thanks

Thank you for the help! Peace!

Good explanation. Thank you for the video! Wish my Baofeng UV-82 would have a turn knob for the squelch. It’d be easier to adjust rather than using CHIRP.

Thanks for the info

Thanks Man, this video helped me a lot to understand Squelch.
But now I have a doubt. I got a Uniden BC125AT Scanner, for Civil Aviation Scanning, some of the communications are lost, i.e. Control Tower transmits and then Pilot responds, but I cant hear what the pilot says at all. I realized of the problem because it seems like the ATC is talking to himself. Would it be happening because a setting in my Scanner or just because the antenna it has is too short in range?
Thanks for the prompt response.

I fly commercial and can tell you that it’s most probably because the plane is probably too far away and their transmission is too weak

Perfect thanks!

[@fishinmagician153]

my scanner works fine for a while then nothing but static ,is the squelch out or is something blocking my signal

[@daveharmon8674]

How do I go about getting a squelch installed on wife?

[@cipher2]

thank you!!!

[@Tom-ud4kb]

Can you make a tutorial on how to use a scanner I just got one and don't o oe what I'm doing

[@badmudderrutters7460]

How come I can't turn my squelch down at all on my scanner?

[@MakedonProductions]

So I have a radio that has 0-9 squelch levels. When set to 0, there is constant static. No matter the channel. Should it then be on 1 or 9?

[@TheChico868]

1 maybe. I have mine on 3

[@aaroncampbell7434]

Thank you for the basic run down... but I think I need a bit bigger intervention and more personalized help

[@ImprEcr]

Uh huh.... understanding this right now... hehe

[@benfulford5255]

you know nothing pal!

[@Wings_of_foam]

And apparently, you don't know shit either! I mean if you did, it wouldn't be necessary for you to look up how to Understand squelch?! Nah, i think he knows way more than you fucktardio.

[@davidrichter9164]

And you do? You're the expert?
Let's see your videos tough guy.
A-hole.

[@kevinpond2201]

Phew. Listening to this video made me question everything I know about scanners. Then I read your comment.
