Where are the 996 SQL Steps Expanded?

[brianfoy]

Paul (or others if you can answer),

In reviewing the communications protocol I noticed that the SQL steps on the 996 have been increased to 19 from the 396's 15:

996: Squelch Level (0:OPEN / 1-18 / 19:CLOSE)
396: Squelch Level (0:OPEN / 1-14 / 15:CLOSE)

Do all of the extra SQL steps on the 996 fall in the theoretical space between the 396's 0 and 1 settings? If not how many would you say comparatively fall between the 396's 0 and 1 settings?

What I'm trying to determine is how much closer to open on the 996 can we get then we could on the 396 (without actually being open).

Thanks ahead,

Brian.

Steps

I can tell you this - the squelch in the 996 seems to work like a "real" squelch, although it is of course not.
I think you will be much happier than on the 396 - the SQ on the 996 actually works!
