How can I fully mute the audio when needed?

[Brales60]

Could you just back the squelch off?

I have a similar setup. I generally send all audio thru my computer (proscan audio loop back set to on).
Before I got my stream deck, I'd use the computer mute keys. Now with the deck I programed one key for that. Works great.

Press the menu button to use as a makeshift mute botton. Pressing the menu button again resumes scanning.

As simple as this sounds, this has been one of the best tips I have gotten from this site!

It's a good tip if your scanner is not hooked up to and recording with Proscan.
