4- pin Microphone Connector
•
OFF/ ON/ Volume Knob-
Turn clockwise to turn power on and set the desired listening volume.
•
Squelch Knob
- This control is used to cut off or eliminate receiver background noise in the absence
of an incoming signal. For maximum receiver sensitivity it is desired that the control be adjusted only
to the point where the receiver background noise or background noise is eliminated. Adjust until the
receiver noise disappears. This will require the incoming signal to be slightly stronger than the aver-
age receiver noise. Further clockwise rotation will increase the threshold level which a signal must
overcome in order to be heard. Only strong signals will be heard at a maximum clockwise setting.
•
X-TRA TALK Knob
- Adjusts the microphone gain in the transmit and PA modes. This controls the gain to
the extent that full talk power is available several inches away from the microphone. I n the
Public Address (PA) mode, the control functions as the volume control.
•
RF Gain Knob
- Adjust as required to optimize signal. This control is used primarily to optimize reception in
strong signal areas. Gain is reduced by counter clockwise rotation of the control.
•
Channel Selector Knob
- This knob selects any one of the 40 Citizen Band channels. The selected
channel is indicated by the LED readout, directly above the Channel Selector Knob.
