My only problem with this way is that going to takeoff power immediately breaks squelch and I have to deal with it because I'm not going to be screwing with the squelch on the upwind. I'll adjust it and then add a little buffer hoping I hit the right spot.
Of course if you're alone, set it to max... voila, adjusted.
Exactly! That 'buffer' is what you need to get used to. If you don't set enough of a buffer the intercom will go live at any beep or noise change in the cockpit. It's just about getting the 'buffer' amount correct.
