Adam... My experience with a C85GFB is that my squelch also seems a bit "tight", but so far I have not been able to do anything about it. I set it to threshold when I had the service monitor on it, and the station was within specifications.
FWIW - I currently have the station set for "AND" squelch, but have been told that PL-only squelch may be a bit more "forgiving". I just haven't had an opportunity to get to the tower and change the setting to see for myself whether this is true.
