<p>Squelch system for use in a multiple carrier AM communications systems receiver, which system includes, on the one hand, a conventional noise squelch circuit (12) operative in a first frequency band, which can include carrier difference signals, to close a squelch gate (30) in the presence of noise signals or said carrier difference signals and, on the other hand, a phase locked loop means (14) parallel to the noise squelch circuit (12) and having a capture range encompassing the first frequency band, said phase locked loop means (14) not locking onto noise signals but locking onto said carrier difference signals within its capture range to open the squelch gate (30). </p> |
