Can you turn the autosquelch off like on the 2510? I've had several 2950's and dx models...don't remember seeing that feature/creature

Is the radio a 2970dx model? if so it is a manual switch to adjust it.

I dont know about the older 2970 model.

Al:

Here is a link to RangerUSA.com: If you look at the .pdf file it shows how to adjust the SSB squelch internally. I don't know if this is the model you have or if it works. You may want to call Ranger or Email them.
