I attempted to post a earlier this morning & I had to shut my computer down due to a threat.
So, please excuse me if I posted.? I am rather new to these forums.
Question #1:? I have read the instructions that came with the radio.? The one inside the box is not very detailed.? So, I went to the source.
I am attempting to understand the values of RF gain.? Many of the settings tell what the values mean specific to function.??
For example:? "Short press
SQ/AQ
, until LCD displays

stands for SQ/AQ level, the bigger value stands for high squelch level."
This example describes what the bigger value does to squelch.
However, when I go look in the instructions specific to RF gain, I see:? AU, 03, 06, 9-48.
I am not fond of AU.? However, I attempted to increase RF gain.? When I advance the number up to 48, I cannot hear hardly anything on Channel 19.? However, if I reduce it to 03 or 06, it works fine.??
Does 48 represent the highest RF gain?
Question #2:? I heard that activating "Hi Cut" helps to reduce the static.? I thought I read where this also helps to reduce strong skip signals.??
Thanks
