Turns out it was an old gallon sorghum can. You could still see Karo on the old label. When I keyed up and it got hot, it smelled delicious.Art Vandelay, Crude Truckin' and Fire ant Thank this. -

I use rf gain just to take the edge off the white noise so it isn't so "sharp". Just enough that it won't give me a headache listening to it for hours.
You do get used to white noise if you listen to it often. You develop a mental noise filter over time and you don't even notice that it's there. It takes a while.
Squelch is nice when you are running through a city or next to power lines and there is alot of rf interference. By the time you use rf gain to reduce the noise you can't really hear much anyway so might as well just squelch it out.
I think it's just personal preference. I do think squelch works better, more forgiving, if you bump the RF gain down just a touch before setting the squelch. Squelch only, and wide open rf gain, seems to cut too much out.speedyk and Crude Truckin' Thank this. -
