Front Panel
This operating manual covers both the TY96/TY97 (8.33 kHz and 25 kHz
channel spacing) and the TY96A/TY97A (25 kHz only channel spacing). Any
references to the TY96/97 will also apply to the TY96A/TY97A unless stated
otherwise.
Display
The display shows the primary and standby frequencies and a series of icons to
indicate the operating mode of the radio.
The primary frequency is on the left and the standby frequency is on the right
half of the screen. The
TX
icon shows that the radio is transmitting. An
RX
icon
shows that the frequency is active and the audio will be heard through the
headphone and speaker outputs. The standby frequency will only be received
during the MONITOR function which is indicated by a
+2
icon when active.
The top right hand corner indicates what frequency step size is selected.
On/Off, Volume and Squelch Knob
The left hand knob controls the power to the VHF radio, adjusts the audio
volume, and controls the squelch. Turning this knob clockwise will switch on
the radio and then increase the volume. Turning anticlockwise will reduce the
volume and eventually will click off.
Pressing this knob toggles the automatic squelch on and off, which can be
used to listen for faint stations and as a simple audio test.
