For transmitters that don't use tone squelch, the best FM squelch is a
noise squelch, which detects the "quieting" an FM signal causes. The
gr-scanner project (which is incomplete/work-in-progress, don't bug me
about functionality yet) has one, albeit written for Gnuradio:

It's a rewrite of Gnuradio's "standard squelch".
