7. FR. POOL SELECTOR
This switch is used to select the frequency range of operation (1 - 6).
8. MODE SWITCH
This control allows you to select one of the following operating modes: CW/FM/AM/USB/LSB.
9. FINE/COARSE CONTROL
Allows variation of the receiver operating frequency above and below the assigned frequency.
Although this control is intended primarily to tune in SSB signal, it may be used to optimize AM/FM
signals as described in the operating procedure paragraphs. Coarse operates both TX/RX, Fine operate
in RX only.
10. CHANNEL SELECTOR
This control is used to select a desired transmit and receive channel.
11. FRONT PANEL METER
The Front Panel Meter allows the user to monitor signal strength, RF output power and SWR level.
12. TX/RX LED
The red LED indicates the unit is in the transmit mode. The green LED indicates the unit is in the
receive mode.
13. FREQUENCY COUNTER
This display indicates the frequency of operations.
14. ECHO/OFF SWITCH
This control is used for echo effect.
15. HI/LO SWITCH
This switch changes tone quality in receive only. In LO position, bass is increased and in HI position,
treble is increased.
16. S-RF/SWR SWITCH
This is a two-function switch. In the S-RF position, the meter will indicate the strength of the signal
being received, as well as the relative RF output of transmission. To use the meter to measure the
standing wave ratio, turn the switch to the SWR position.
17. NB/ANL/OFF SWITCH
In the NB/ANL position, the RF Noise Blanker and the Automatic Noise Limiter in the audio circuits
are also activated. The Noise Blanker is very effective in eliminating repetitive impulse noise such as
ignition interference.
18. R.B./OFF SWITCH
In the Roger Beep position, the radio transmits an audio tone at the end of your transmission to indicate
that transmission has ended. As a courtesy to others, use the Roger Beep only when necessary.
19. +10KHz/OFF SWITCH
When the switch is pressed the frequency is shifted 10KHz up.
20. CHANNEL DISPLAY
