 |
|
I have a King KY 97a in my Kitfox. We had a heavy sandstorm where it is parked of 50 mph winds. When I went flying a day or two after the windstorm, the radio on receive sounded unsquelched. I can't find a squelch on the radio. I believe it is automatic. I think somehow the electrical buildup on the antenna from the sandstorm did something to the radio. Anyone out there know any solutions?

The squelch is opened by pulling out the volume knob. I suspect you've left it clicked out.
If not, you can check the internal setting which is a small screwdriver adjustment via a hole on the top cover "SQ" there is another adjustment for signal level squelch too. These holes are normally covered by s sticky label.

Thanks Ralph, The volume knob is probably it. I'll let you know.
