Guest Timber_Canyon Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 Where in the world are the squelch settings for the 5RM in CHIRP? Is it still supported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRWE456 Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 Squelch is not something you program with software. You have to be able to adjust it on the fly as needed, like volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some radios have deeper squelch settings that can only be configured with the CPS which allow you to control how the squelch works when you adjust it on the fly.

WRWE456 Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 Thanks Steve I did not know that. Doesn't seem to be very useful according to Randy. Maybe under certain conditions. SteveShannon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRXR255 Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 The 5RM "driver" in CHIRP is still experimental. I am sure if the squelch levels can be changed in the 5RM, like they could in the UV-5R family, at some point they might be adjustable but it may not be possible with the firmware or how the radio is made. Its why its important to keep CHIRP updated. And why its important to keep the older versions around too. Sometimes the update takes something that worked before and messes with it.

On the VU-5R Radios you could adjust the squelch setting breaks. It did not have a potentiometer squelch, you set a level of squelch from 0 to 9 in the menu. With that by default, the settings where the break level was in a new radio was kinda bizarre, so any level you had from 1 to 9 was not much different. For instance: You could adjust the levels for each setting from 0 to 120, but in the top pic, I adjusted mine to a max of 60, as above that you were pretty much fully "deaf".

Guest Timber_Canyon Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 Thanks for the replies. I think WRXR255 might have gotten it. I should have been more specific, but what I was looking forvwas this. https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Squelch.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
