How do you completely stop the static so that it only comes on when people talk? Is there an automatic squelch option so i dont have to keep turning the **** as im driving? Also does HAM .. which is longer range ... run off the same antaae ir i need a 2nd one..

 

I rarely find it an issue, we generally switch to a less used channel if we find too much chit chat going on. People that do remote travel here use HF radio which has a much larger antennae for the specific frequency.
