K3 - Squelch question

[Bruce Meier-2]

Having a great time with my new K3 #1062 so far !!    I have never been on 6
mtrs and decided to give it a try.    As I am working from home today I
wanted to leave the K3 on the SSB calling freq and simply monitor.     I
tried to change the RF/SQL settings to allow me to squelch the noise -
and..I can't.    Does the squelch not work on SSB or am I doing something
wrong?

Squelch is currently only active on FM, I believe.

You can park on the 6m freq and use the NR to reduce the background
noise from SSB.  You should still hear all but the weakest signals,
depending on how aggressively you set the NR.  F1-1 has the least
suppression but lets the weak signals through, F1-4 requires the signals
to have a moderate S/N.  F1-3 may be a good compromise.
