ï
Preamp and Attenuator
The preamp amplifies received signals in the front
end circuit to improve the S/N ratio and sensitivity.
Turn ON this function to better receive weak signals.
The attenuator prevents strong undesired signals
near the desired frequency or near your location,
such as from a broadcast station, from causing dis-
tortion or spurious signals.
