Figure 2-1 Front Panel
2.0 INTRODUCTION
This section explains the basic operating procedures for the RANGER RCI-6300F HP / RCI-6300F TB
mobile transceiver.
2.1 CONTROL AND CONNECTIONS
2.1.1 FRONT PANEL
Refer to the above Figure 2-1 for the location of the following controls.
1. ON/OFF VOLUME CONTROL
This knob controls the volume and the power to the radio. To turn the radio on, rotate the knob
clockwise. Turning the knob further will increase the volume of the receiver.
2. SQUELCH CONTROL
This switch is used to eliminate background noise being heard through the receiver which can be
disturbing when no transmissions are being received. To use this feature, turn the switch fully
counterclockwise and then turn clockwise slowly until the background noise is just eliminated. 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.
3. MIC GAIN CONTROL
