adjusts the squelch level. The squelch level mutes weak
signals and passes strong signals. The squelch level affects
the audio output only. If the internal speaker is on, audio
signals are not output unless the signal strength exceeds the
squelch threshold. The squelch level does not affect the
rear- AUX VIDEO OUT signal. Squelch level is indicated
on-screen by the
unitless
numbers 0 to 100, with 0 being
minimum squelch threshold (all signals are passed), and 100
being maximum squelch threshold (no signals are passed).
The default squelch value is 0.

account, thereby displaying the actual power delivered to
the device under test.
