It is the term for cutting out the static electricity based background audio noise from radio receivers. Back in the day, it was an adjustable dial, so anyone who used a radio (including ex-military and their family) would be familiar with the term. It's not so common nowadays because there is auto-squelch and auto tuning on most receivers, but it's still part of the lexicon ;-) Philip
