Did You Know.....

[Mark, KJ7BS]

Did you know your K2 has a squelch?

I installed the KIO2 module in my K2 and proceded to connect it to my laptop running Ham Radio Deluxe.  I'm impressed with the K2 interface in HRD.  All the controls are represented either in buttons or sliders and band changes are a ckick away.  I found a strange slider control that is has no corresponding front panel control on the K2, SQUELCH.  I adjusted this slider and low and behold, there is squelch in the K2!

I'm not sure what good squelch is when operating CW or SSB, but it is there.  How do we make this control available when not running conputer control?

Mark,

The squelch on/off and level control is the first entry of the secondary menu - enter the menu and tap display to see it.  The level corresponds with the number of bars in the S-meter required to open squelch.
Squelch is used by default during scanning unless you turn squelch off.  See the scanning section of the manual.

Hi Mark,

Squelch is a menu entry in the K2. It's in the secondary menu, and has
the name "SLCH" (because a "Q" looks pretty odd on a 7-segment display  
:)

You can assign PF1 or PF2 to this menu function if you need to adjust
squelch frequently. Those using transverters find it quite useful.
