A unique feature of the Maxima receiver is the automatic gain
control mode. The “smart electronics” contained in the receiver
will automatically set the gain control based on the strength of
the signal. Note that automatic is good to help find a signal;
Manual is best for precise direction finding.
Manual mode allows the operator to set the gain level. Turn the
gain wheel to the lowest level where an audible beep is heard
and one or two bars are displayed on the LCD (see photo on
pg. 6). This will provide the most precise indication of bearing to
the transmitter.
Pressing the ENTER key when in memory selection mode, tog-
gles receiver between Automatic and Manual gain control
modes. MAN or AUTO will indicate the current mode and dis-
played on the right side of the LCD screen. When in Automatic
mode, the AUTO will flash when adjusting gain. Current gain set-
ting is displayed top center (0 through 9).
