Does the KX2 have Squelch?

I’m trying to get an XV144 working for possible SOTA usage.

As I might be operating FM and/or SSB I’ve been searching for squelch control on the KX2 but without luck. Does it support squelch?

You have to be at the following revision:

Rev. A6-2, 15 December, 2017 Copyright © 2017, Elecraft, Inc. All Rights
Reserved

FM Mode FM Mode

This added mode is intended primarily for use on the 10 meter band, and
repeater as well as simplex
operations are supported. External transverters may also be used (see KX2
Owner's Manual for set up).

- To enable or disable FM mode's availability, use MENU:FM MODE. VFO A
controls FM on/off. If FM mode is
enabled, it is available on all bands.

FM mode must be selected in order to use the controls shown below.
- To adjust squelch, tap FIL and rotate the AF GAIN knob.
- To adjust transmit offset frequency (repeater shift or split), use
MENU:RPT OFS and VFO A. Offset values can
be set at 20 KHz increments.
- To select transmit frequency offset direction, hold SPLIT. The transmit
offset direction (+/-/SIMPLEX) will be
shown on the VFO B display, alongside the transmit offset value. Successive
holds of SPLIT will rotate
through the three offset directions.
- Transmit offset and direction are remembered on a per-band basis. Saving
an FM mode memory stores
both.
- FM deviation may be changed with MENU:FM DEV. Use VFO A to set it. You
might have to unlock this
setting in order to change it. Hold the FREQ button down for 3 seconds to
clear lock status.
- PL (CTCSS) tone deviation may be adjusted from within MENU:FM DEV. While
in this menu, tap '1' to select
PL deviation. It can then be changed by rotating VFO A.
- PL tone frequency may be adjusted using MENU:FM TONE. Tapping '1' turns
PL tone on or off. If PL tone is
turned on, rotating VFO A changes its frequency.
- 1750 Hz tone burst is not supported at this time.
