Dittel radio squelch

I'm having the same problem with mine without any converters in the circuit and am interested in trying the squelch adjustment. Thanks for the help.

I have found the Cambridge GPS is always the first suspect, with the SN-10 close behind + cheap voltage converters, but almost everything will add some noise. Try turning on your radio with no squelch applied, then listen as the other electrical devices are turned on. The hiss will slowly build until it becomes a roar. Turning down the internal squelch is placing a band-aid over the problem. Did you hear the guys 60 miles away, climbing under Cu's?.......... I did!

There is a pot that adjusts the squelch. I have it marked on my FSG-50. If you are interested contact me karls at uplink.net

With the bottom pan off (4 screws) and looking down at the bottom innerds with the front toward you the pot to adjust is 3 and 3/4 inches back from the front face of the radio. It is on the extreme right, has red sealing paint on it and is just in front of a big rectangular something that is labeled "A3411P" on my radio.

Email me if you want a pic karls at uplink dot net.

PS Turn counterclockwise for more squelch (less noise).

What I did was to drill a small hole in the cover, above the squelch pot. That way when making small adjustments. The cover need not be removed.

Just found yet another electronic device that will break squelch on your radio..............your smart phone!
The buyer of my D-2, sat down to see how he fit. The radio broke squelch..........when he turned off his smart phone, the radio went silent again.

What kind of cell coverage did you have there at the time?

3 bars most of the time.

Yes, but GSM, 3G, LTE?
