➥
Push the desired band’s
[MAIN•BAND]
.
➥
Push and hold
[DUP•MONI]
for 1 sec. to open the
squelch.
➥
Rotate the main band’s
[VOL]
to adjust the audio level.
➥
Push the
[DUP•MONI]
to close the squelch.
w
Set the squelch level.
➥
Rotate the main band’s
[SQL]
fully counterclockwise in
advance, then rotate the
[SQL]
clockwise until the noise
just disappears.
• When interference due to strong signals is received, rotate
[SQL]
clockwise past 12 o'clock for attenuator operation. (p. 22)
e
Set the operating frequency in the main band.
(pgs. 15–17)
r
When receiving a signal on the selected frequency, squelch
opens and the transceiver emits audio.
• “BUSY” appears and the S/RF
indicator shows the relative
signal strength for the re-
ceived signal.
✔
CONVENIENT!
The main band’s audio and squelch level can also
be adjusted with [
VOL
Y
(TONE-1)]/[
VOL
Z
0(TONE-2)]
and [
SQL
Y
D(MUTE)]/[
SQL
Z
#(16KEY-L)], respectively.
• “VOL” for audio or “SQL” for squelch appears during set.

Transmitting
NOTE:
To prevent interference, listen on the channel be-
fore transmitting by pushing and holding
[DUP•MONI]
for
1 sec., or [
MONI
1(BANK)] on the microphone.
q
Select the main band.
(p. 15)
w
Set the operating frequency.
(pgs. 15–17)
• Select output power if desired. See section at right for details.

lected frequency band.
r
Speak into the microphone using your normal voice level.
• DO NOT hold the microphone too close to your mouth or speak
too loudly. This may distort the signal.
t
Release
[PTT]
to return to receive.
IMPORTANT! (for 50 W transmission):
The IC-E2820 is equipped with protection circuits to protect
the power ampli
fi
er circuit from high temperature. When the
transceiver temperature becomes extremely high, the trans-
ceiver reduces transmit output power to 5 W
(approx.)
auto-
matically.
CAUTION:
Transmitting without an antenna may damage
the transceiver.
