Program one of the buttons for "tight/normal squelch."

 

[cole_gerhardt]

Depending on how its programmed... the mic may need to be grounded (or on the hang up clip which is ground then grounded) to receive only the PL you want.

Not trying to be a smartbutt here, just asking a question, but how did you program the option buttons on the radio to begin with? It's one of the options in the CPS for the programmable buttons. And as posted above, the mic hang-up box options are a valid point, too.

For whatever reason, /\/\ engineers did not give the ability to program a button for squelch, looks like you need to do it in the "Global Tuner". You may run into another snag though, recently, I do not know for how long, maybe a year, all of the new CDM radios were set, to not be able to adjust the squelch. There is a "Patch Tool" that you need to program the CDM with to allow squelch adjustment. For us, we had to have it sent via e-mail from one of the techs, I do not know if it is available on MOL.
