Terms and Definitions Fr eq u en c y Radio signals are sent as waves through the air. These waves move up and down. A frequency is the number of times in a certain time period, usually a second, that these waves move all the way up and all the way down and back to all the way up. For example: 123.44 kHz means that the waves are moving all the way u[...]

3. Turn the SQUELCH conrol back counter clockwise just until the hiss stops. Now the “Squelch Gate” allows only strong signals through. 4. Sometimes when you open the Squelch, you may trigger the Alert feature even though no highway patrol cars are in the area. If this happens, turn the SQUE LCH control counterclockwise until the “rushing” [...]
