RF GAIN CONTROL/SQUELCH CONTROL
[RF/SQL]
(outer control; p. 32)
Rotate to adjust the RF gain and squelch threshold
level.
The squelch removes noise output to the speaker
when no signal is received (closed condition).
• The squelch is particularly effective in FM, but also
works in other modes.
• The 12 to 1 o’clock position is recommended
for the
most effective use of the [RF/SQL] control.
• [RF/SQL] operates as only an RF gain control in SSB,
CW and RTTY (Squelch is fixed open), or a squelch
control in AM and FM (RF gain is fixed at maximum
sensitivity), when the “RF/SQL Control” item is set to
“Auto” in the Set mode. (p. 86)

While rotating the RF gain control, a faint noise may
be heard. This comes from the DSP unit and does
not indicate an equipment malfunction.

MIC GAIN CONTROL [MIC]
(inner control; p. 34)
Rotate to adjust the microphone gain.
• The transmit audio tone in the SSB, AM and FM modes
can be independently adjusted in the Tone Control Set
mode. (pp. 90, 91)
✔
How to set the microphone gain.
While speaking at normal voice level, adjust the mi-
crophone gain so that in the SSB or AM modes, the
ALC meter swings within the ALC zone.

RF POWER CONTROL [RF PWR]
(outer control; p. 34)
Rotate to continuously vary the RF output power
between 2 W (minimum) and 100 W (maximum).
(AM: between 2 W and 27 W).

electronic CW keyer to between 6 wpm (minimum)
and 48 wpm (maximum).
