Problem: VHF and UHF Squelch settings in Options menu appear to have no effect, or at least won't open fully.

Steps to reproduce.

1. Tune to a frequency in either the 2m or 70cm bands.

2. Ensure no RX CTCSS or DCS tone is selected.

3. Go into the Menu > Options > and adjust VHF or UHF squelch (depending on which band you are on) all the way down to 0%.

Expected Results: Open squelch, constant noise.

Actual Results: silence.

Can anyone else reproduce this?

if you dont program individual squelch level for selected channel in codeplug - then squelch level from options will be used when you switch to that channel, if you want change squelch on the go - jus use left right buttons...

In case further clarification is needed.

You can assign individual squelch levels to each channel, either via the CPS or by pressing the left or right button in FM mode on an individual channel.

If you have set an individual squelch level on a channel, this overrides the global squelch for that band ( which is adjusted in the Options screen).

Note. Changes to individual channel squelch by pressing the left or right arrow is temporarily, and not saved to the codeplug memory.
If you want to permanently save an individual squelch level for a channel, you need to set the level, using the left or right buttons, then go to the Channel Details screen, and then save to codeplug using SK2 + Green.
