RECEPTION
* When you first listen to an SSB signal, you probably will not be able
t
o understand it. The voice might
sound distorted or low and gu
tt
ural. In either case, slowly turn
CLARIFIER
signal into its natural voice
total range,
* An SSB signal produces a flut
t
ering, unintelligible sound when received in the AM mode. Set the mode
switch to either LSB or USB, and adjust CLARIFIER.
* If the voice is still not intelligible, it might be an SSB signal operating on the o
t
her sideband - try the
other SSB mode.
* You can tune AM signals when the mode switch is in
t
he USB or LSB position. Adjust CLARIFIER to
eliminate the steady tone caused by the AM carrier signal.

REDUCING NOISE
Because your transceiver is exceptionally quiet, any noise you hear is probably from an external source in
your vehicle such as the al
t
ernator, another radio or speak plugs.
You can determine the noise's source by turning off
t
he engine and operating the transceiver with your
vehicle's ignition se
t
to
ACC.
If the noise is reduced, the problem is in your vehicle's ignition or electrical
system.
Here are a few hints to help you reduce or elimina
