I have very little experience with a CB other than on the Wing. My understanding of squelch is that its a filter. If I'm riding alone, set the squelch on a low number to get maximum range and coverage. But if I'm riding with a group and only want to hear the transmissions within say 500 yards, then I should go to a higher squelch level to filter out all the others. Is this correct?
Another rider is telling me I'll get the best reception if my squelch is at the same level as his. I thought my squelch setting only affected what I hear, not what I send. That is my squelch setting would have no effect on how well someone else hears me. Nor would his setting have an effect on how well I hear him. Whose right?
