Noticed lately missing radio calls from ATC because they weren’t breaking squelch. If I turned squelch OFF (press power knob), I could hear their calls loud and clear. Turn it back on, and nothing. Doesn’t happen all the time, but enough to where I can’t trust it. And it’s usually an ARTCC frequency. Today in was ATL and JAX center at 10,500’.
For those not familiar with this radio, there is an RF squelch setting in configuration mode. Settings are 0-10. The default is 0, and is most sensitive (should let even the weakest transmissions thru) and where mine is set. In normal mode, the only squelch control is either ON or OFF. No in between.
Anyone else having similar issues or have suggestions on what to try?
Thanks
