When the Micor squelch first came out, it's ability to automatically trim the squelch tail length from a normal tail on a noisy signal to zero tail on a 20db quieting (or better) signal was unique. The squelch chip was custom made by Moto Semi for Moto Comm. The chip can be installed in almost any receiver - and was (even in tube-type receivers). This cartoon was drawn by a ham who knows the Johnson FM radios inside outside and backwards... Here's a version oriented for printing.

Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio said: "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
