K3S 2m FM squelch problem

[Nicklas Johnson]

This is probably a dumb question but I'll ask it anyway...

Got my K3S tonight, and starting to put it through its paces.  The 2m
module was factory installed.

The problem I have is that the RF/SQL control is still behaving like an RF
control and not a squelch (ie, I always hear background static).  I've
verified that I'm in FM mode, SQ Main is set to 00 and SQ=FM.  I'm
listening with the built-in speaker.  The transverter does seem to be
working; I can hear the repeater, and it can hear me.

I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious, but I haven't been able to
figure out what it is.  Any suggestions?

Saying something doesn't make it true.  Belief in something doesn't make it
real. And if you have to lie to support a position, that position is not
worth supporting.

Yup, I did a little more digging and figured it out.  What I wanted was SQ
MAIN to be =SUB POT to control it on the panel using the SUB knob, versus
setting the squelch via the menu.

All is well.
