8.0 FRONT PANEL
(see figure 2)
The following legend presents the PRIMARY function of each
individual control and indicator. Several controls have secondary
functions when used in conjunction with the spinner knob or other
buttons, as described in the SECONDARY SWITCH FUNC-
TIONS chapter of this manual.
8.1 CONTROLS
Location of push buttons - (see figure 2)
All four main push buttons: FAST, MEM, BW, REV have been
designed and located for convenient one-hand operation. A few
users have complained that two hands are required and that the
push buttons are too close. Users should become familiar with the
use of one hand, using these push buttons and the main tuning
knob.
8.1.1 PWR
The PWR button turns the radio on and off. When turned on the
display will first show the serial number followed by SGC (SGC
will also be in CW sidetone), and then the DC voltage of the
power supply. Finally, the operating frequency will be displayed
and the transceiver is then ready for operation.
8.1.2 LIGHT
Pressing the LIGHT button turns the display backlight on and off.
Battery life when operating portable can be extended by turning
the backlight off when not needed.
8.1.3 SPEED
This button controls the speed of the internal keyer when operating
in the CW mode. Press and hold the SPEED button. The keyer
speed will be displayed in (WPM) words per minute. To adjust the
keyer to the desired speed, turn the main tuning knob while the
speed button is depressed, and adjust the speed to the desired rate.
The range of adjustments in 1 word increments from 5 WPM to 45
WPM, and 5 word increments from 45 through 60 WPM. The
speed is retained in the SG-2020’s non-volatile memory.
