10. CLARIFIER
The clarifier is used to adjust the operating frequency
for tuning to an SSB signal. The clarifier has 3
operating modes: receive only; receive and transmit
(default setting); transmit only. Refer to MENU
SETTING section for details on setting the clarifier
modes.
To adjust the frequency rotate the clarifier clockwise
or counter-clockwise. To change the frequency step
push in the clarifier control. The current frequency
step position with blink on the LCD. To increase to the
next frequency step position, push in the clarifier
again while the current position is blinking. Repeat
until desired frequency step position is achieved.
Note: The entire operating frequency range of the
transceiver can be tuned using the clarifier. This is
similar to a VFO style frequency tuning.
11. TALK BACK / LCD OFF
Talk Back (TB) allows for monitoring of the operator’s
transmitted audio. To adjust the talk back, press the
TB button. “tb” will appear on the LCD along with the
volume level number (off ~ 63). Rotate the Frequency
control (7) to adjust talk back volume. Press talk back
button again to return to main display.
LCD OFF turns the LCD display off for situations
where you want the radio to remain on, but do not
want the LCD display to be visible. To turn off the LCD,
press FUNC button and then press LCD OFF button.
To turn the LCD back on, repeat process.
12. FUNC (MENU)
The FUNC button is used to operate secondary
controls on the front panel buttons and is used to
access the radio’s menu feature.
To operate front panel button secondary controls
press and release the FUNC button. “FUNC” will
appear on the LCD for approx. 5 seconds during
which the secondary front panel controls may be
accessed.
To enter the menu setting, press and hold the FUNC
button for 3 seconds. To exit the menu setting, repeat.
For more information on menu settings, see MENU
SETTINGS section.
13. SCAN / SC.LIST
When the scan feature is activated the radio will scan
through the current frequency band in 5kHz steps and
automatically stop on a busy frequency. To start scan,
press the SCAN button. To stop the scan, repeat.
The scan feature has 2 menu settings: Stop on Signal
Scanning (Sq) and Timed Stop Scanning (TI). The
Stop on Signal Scanning (default setting)
automatically stops on a busy frequency and then
resumes scanning when signal is no longer detected.
The Timed Stop Scanning automatically stops on a
busy frequency for 5 seconds and then resumes
scanning regardless of signal being detected or not.
See MENU SETTING section for details.
The SC.LIST feature allows the operator to ignore
(skip over) specific frequencies from the scan list. Use
the frequency control to select the frequency to skip
over. Press and release the FUNC button, and then
press and release the SC.LIST button. An indicator
dot (period) will appear on the LCD between the
10MHz and 1MHz frequency positions. This
frequency will now be skipped during scanning. To no
longer skip over that frequency, repeat the steps
above.
14. MODE / TOT
During transmit the radio’s LCD can display
frequency (default setting), time-out transmit counter,
or battery voltage. To change the LCD setting, press
the MODE button to step through the 3 display
options as follows:
“td tF” = Frequency displayed during transmit
“td bat” = Battery voltage displayed during transmit
“td tot” = Time-out transmit counter displayed during
transmit
The Time-Out Transmit (TOT) feature sets a
maximum time limit that the radio will transmit. This
feature prevents accidental long term transmitting
that would eventually damage the radio. To turn the
Time-Out Transmit feature on, press and release the
FUNC button and then press and release the TOT
button. To turn off the feature, repeat above steps.
The LCD will display either “tot on” or “tot of”.
The amount of transmit time allowed is adjustable
from 0 to 600 seconds in 30 second increments. The
time is adjusted through the MENU SETTING. See
MENU SETTING section for details.
15. +10KHz / HI-CUT
The +10KHz button is a shortcut control that
increases the current operating frequency by 10KHz
when pushed. Push the button again to decrease by
10KHz and return to original operating frequency.
The HI-CUT feature is a receive audio bandpass filter
that clips the high frequency noise. To turn on press
the FUNC button and then press the HI-CUT button.
HI-CUT will appear on the LCD and you will hear a
difference in the receive audio sound. To turn off,
repeat.
16. NB & ANL / LOCK
The NB button turns on and off the radio’s noise
blanker and automatic noise limiter features. The
noise blanker can help reduce some types of noise
emitting from the vehicle or power source. The
automatic noise limiter
