Tim,
The operating manual is available for download here:

Note especially page 13 for a description of the RF squelch, the CTCSS
squelch, and the DCS squelch modes.
Operational differences are:
RF squelch: Typical carrier squelch to keep from having to listen to
speaker noise when no signal is present. Set it just above the level where
you
hear noise.
CTCSS squelch: Great for crowded areas. Squelch opens only when a specific
CTCSS tone is heard. It's a binary thing: On or off.
DCS squelch: Same as CTCSS, but uses a digital coding scheme rather than
the sub-audible (sort of) tone CTCSS uses.

Just picked up a new VX-170 and noted 2 different kinds of "Squelch."
I'd be grateful to know the operational differences and typical
settings for each.
Be Well,
Tim
