Why is a squelch or muting circuit fitted?

  • A.To limit the audio power delivered on loud passages
  • B.To suppress the image response on crowded bands
  • C.To hold the oscillator on frequency between transmissions
  • D.To silence the output when no carrier is present

Answer: D

Squelch mutes the audio while no carrier is received, so an operator is not subjected to full-gain noise between transmissions. Limiting audio power is a different protective function. The image is a front-end matter. And oscillator stability is unrelated. The circuit is a good example of a feature that improves nothing measurable about the receiver and a great deal about using it, which is why every practical set has one.
