Thanks for the great replies. The ICOM radio's squelch is a part of
the volume control. You pull it out and hear the squelch and turning
the knob just adjusts the volume of it. If you push it in the squelch
noise stops. Doen't seem to me that the squelch is really controllable
except to change the volume of it, which also changes the radio volume.

The radio has adjustable squelch. The adjustment is on top of the radio
IIRC and should have a piece of tape over the adjustment hole. There is
also a sidetone adjustment so make sure you get the correct one.
