3) RF GAIN:
This knob is for adjusting sensitivity during reception. For long distance communica-
tions RF GAIN should be set to maximum. RF GAIN can be reduced to avoid distortion,
when your correspondent is close by and who does not have the RF POWER function.
The normal setting of this knob is on maximum (fully clockwise).

Turning this knob allows you to choose a channel (1-40) for transmitting and receiving.

Frequency Modulation (FM) is for nearby communications in flat, open areas. It
gives better quality of communication (squelch adjustment needs more finesse).
