On the EUFD, the star symbol denotes what status?

Explanation:
The star indicates that squelch is on. Squelch acts as a gate for the audio output: when it’s enabled, the receiver mades audio only if a signal strong enough to meet the squelch threshold is present, muting the background noise otherwise. Seeing the star on the EUFD shows that this noise-suppressing function is currently active, so weak or no-signal conditions won’t produce idle hiss. If you wanted to hear everything including noise, you’d turn squelch off and the star would not indicate an active status.
