inter-station1937

1937 F. E. Terman Radio Engin. (ed. 2) xiii. 561 In tuning a sensitive receiver provided with automatic volume control, the noise output between stations is high because, when no signal is being received, the A.V.C. system increases the sensitivity of the receiver to the maximum possible value. Arrangements for eliminating this interstation noise are variously known as Q circuits, quieting systems, squelch circuits, etc.

1940 Chambers's Techn. Dict. 456/1 Inter-station interference, interference which arises from the presence of another transmitter on the same (or on an adjacent) wavelength as that to which a receiver is tuned.

1946 C. A. Quarrington Mod. Pract. Radio & Television I. xxvii. 225 Another unpleasant inter-station noise is experienced when tuning off one station and when tuning on to the next.

1970 J. Earl How to choose Tuners & Amplifiers i. 24 Other features found in tuner-amplifiers..are automatic mono/stereo switching..and an inter-station muting device which in the ‘on’ position deadens the audio channels on weak signals..and on noise signals between stations, thus making it possible to tune over the f.m. band without the annoyance of a high background noise, the tuner audio channels only being activated when a transmission of a useable strength is tuned.
