Squelch and sub receiver not working?

[K2QI]

Dear group,

 

Not sure if I’m doing something wrong here, but I set SQ MAIN=SUB POT.  As I understand it, with this setting the main receiver and sub receiver squelch is now controlled by the RF/SQL SUB pot.  Squelch works fine when using the main receiver, and I can see the squelch setting on the sub readout on the LCD.  However, switching over to the sub receiver, when I try to adjust squelch, all I get is a SQL=NA message, and squelch levels are not adjustable.  Is there something I’m not doing right here?  How do I adjust squelch on the sub to obtain full quieting?

BTW, I forgot to add that the squelch only seems to work in FM mode.  Is this the case?  Also, when using the sub receiver in FM mode, even if I adjust squelch to the maximum, it will not go to full quieting.

I'm confused now.

OK, nevermind... turns out that the sub receiver was not in FM mode, hence the reason squelch wasn't being adjusted.

I've also read on the reflector that squelch is only applicable to FM modes.  I hope that squelch will also be incorporated into other modes as well.
