■
Preamp and attenuator
The preamp amplifies received signals in the re-
ceiver input (front end) circuit to improve the S/N
ratio and sensitivity. Turn this function ON when re-
ceiving weak signals.
The attenuator prevents very strong signals near the
desired frequency, such as nearby broadcast sta-
tions or very strong amateur signals, from causing
distortion of a desired signal.
