RT-500-M 7.5.2 Adjusting of the Squelch The correct adjustment of the squelch is crucial for attaining the optimal sensitivity of the signal reception. The more sensitively the system works, the greater signal range (operating distance) can be achieved. Especially weak signals are often located on the edge to the noise level or even inside the noise level.
RT-500-M 7.5.3 Dimming The brightness of the display and key illumination can be adapted to surrounding lighting conditions. The button (twin function key, s. Figure 6, position 5) has two keys (“-“, “+”) to adjust the brightness of: - Backlight of the display - Backlight of the keypad legends - LEDs Pressing one of these keys will open a dialog with a brightness indication and already decrease or increase the brightness.

RT-500-M 8.7 Guideline for Optimal DF Antenna Position The quality of the bearing results depends largely on the antenna´s location. So, an antenna location has to be found where the transmitter´s wavefield can reach the bearing antenna as undisturbed as possible. If high bearing accuracy is demanded, no metallic resp. RF-conducting obstacles may be around the antenna unit (in an angle of ± 45° towards the horizontal). Objects being in the “restricted area” will disturb the arriving wave field.
