Cb radio squelch

No, not neccessarly when someone is talking. Just when you are picking up excessive static. Just experiment with those settings. The nb means noise blanker, which was designed to suppress popping noises from spark plugs in cars 40 years ago. With newer vehicles today that feature is somewhat useless. But experiment with those settings to see if it helps. The radio is going to have a certain amount of noise because that's the antenna doing its job of picking up signals in the air. It was mentioned earlier that these inverters in your truck today can cause a lot of static in the CB radio. The only way to know is to shut the inverter off and see if the excessive static you are hearing goes away.

 

Usually yes. If the signal from someone talking is strong enough, it will usually over ride the squelch setting .

 

Okay very good. It's too bad these CB shops wouldn't teach someone new to CB radio how to use them. But if they're busy they probably don't have the time. It's kind of tough to help someone sometimes on a forum. But I believe you are making progress.

 

Wow….. can’t believe this thread is still going just over a “Squelch”……….. just take it to a professional, and have him sell you a golden screwdriver tune.

 

Your talking about a Squelch and RF gain knobs. My grandson knows how to adjust those. Maybe CB ain’t meant for you. There are 5 pages just for this…. Really!!!!! Many have chimed in about your issue and now you said 2 shops don’t know what there doing……. Just doesn’t add up…… Take it to “Fine Tune”, Mark will hook you up, and drain your wallet. @rabbiporkchop knows.

 

Put the pipe down, and start over, maybe you’ll comprehend.

 

I can see in the future 10 pages to change an airline, shakes head.
