🔍 Key Concepts

• Squelch control function on a VHF radio (what it actually does to weak signals and background noise) • Trade‑off between suppressing noise and hearing weak incoming calls • What happens if squelch is set too high or too low

💭 Think About

• What will you hear if the squelch is turned all the way down? What important problem does that create during normal watchkeeping? • If you turn the squelch up very high, what kind of transmissions might you stop hearing? How could that affect safety? • In practical use, how do operators usually adjust squelch—do they want just enough to remove hiss, or a lot more than that?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare each choice to the idea of using the lowest setting that still removes constant background hiss while still allowing weak signals to break through. • Eliminate any choice that would routinely block weak or distant distress calls. • Eliminate any choice that leaves the radio in a state of constant noise that makes it impractical to monitor the watch channel.
