Great News for UV5R and UV82 radio owners.

The Baofeng UV5R / UV82 series are known for having a very loose squelch.
There are ten Squelch levels. Zero is OFF, One through Nine is barely
closed.

The Latest Daily Build of CHIRP<http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_CHIRP.php> has
added a Service Settings tab<
http://www.miklor.com/COM/images/SquelchSet7.jpg> which allows you to
change the internal values of the various levels.
A weak signal will open the receiver, and only a solid signal will open at
level Nine.
This is described in detail at the Miklor<http://www.miklor.com/> website
under Resolve the UV5R / UV82 Squelch Issue<
http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Squelch.php>.

Note: This eliminates popping static from opening the squelch at random.
Really annoying when mobile.
