Huggie,
Not always easy to convey true sentiment. My complaints were only in relation to ATRs, not relative to other types.
We have 4 different models, 2 of 42 and 2 of 72 all with different quirks and foibles!
The squelch I mean is for the intercom or voice activation. Even spam-cans have those!
I know its probably the best little airlliner around.
And for good measure, my favourite ATR thing is the cross-wind limit!
