PRO-106 Expert Setting- Noise Threshold

[FrankJ]

Just wondering if lowering this will "tighten" the squelch so it won't break open so much on noisy signals?

Case in point, my PRO-43 doesn't open on noisy signals when the squelch in set at a certain point. I noticed the PRO-106 does this quite a bit, especially on the airbands.

Sensitivity on the airbands seems good on the PRO-106, but having to constantly hit the arrow up (or adjust the squelch higher) to scan/search the bands in a real pain.

I did reduce the noise threshold, so I'll have to see how this works.

I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced the same issues?

The noise threshold setting will have no affect on the air bands. It affects digital comms. only.

Where does it state that setting is for digital transmissions only?

Ahhh.....I see that listed under "digital tuning".

The Menu help text describes it as "noise threshold value for DSP".

I don't think this has anything to do with the squelch but if you set the Narrow FM to (yes) I believe it helps things to be just a little more audible.
