What is the function of a squelch circuit?

  • A.To hold the local oscillator on its nominal frequency
  • B.To mute the audio when no signal is present
  • C.To limit the modulation depth
  • D.To reject the image frequency

Answer: B

Squelch silences the receiver until the signal exceeds a threshold, so the operator is not subjected to noise between transmissions. It is essential in any receiver left monitoring a quiet channel. Modulation depth is a transmitter matter. Image rejection is provided by preselection. And oscillator stability comes from the circuit design or a control loop. Squelch is a convenience rather than a performance feature, but its absence makes a radio unusable for monitoring.
