MONI PITCH Knobs
MONI Knob
The inner [ MONI
] knob adjusts the audio level of
the transmit RF monitor during transmission (rela-
tive to the AF GAIN control), when activated by the
[
MONI
] button (above).
PITCH Knob
The outer [ PITCH
] knob selects your preferred CW
tone pitch (from 300 ~ 1050 Hz, in 50 Hz incre-
ments). The Tx sidetone, receiver IF passband, and
display offset from the BFO (carrier) frequency are
all affected simultaneously. The Pitch control set-
ting also affects the operation of the CW Tuning In-
dicator, as the center frequency of the CW Tuning
Indicator will follow the setting of this control.
A
DVICE
:
The Sub band (VFO-B) frequency display will show
the Spot tone frequency for 3 seconds whenever the
outer [
PITCH
] knob is turned.
You may disable this feature (displaying the Spot
tone frequency) via Menu item “
DISPLAY 022
LEVEL INDICATOR .” See page 148 for details.
AGC ATT Knobs
AGC Knobs
This switch selects the AGC characteristics for the
Main band (VFO-A) receiver.
ATT Knobs
This switch selects the degree of attenuation, if any,
to be applied to the Main (VFO-A) receiver input.
A
DVICE
:
The Attenuator may be used in conjunction with the
[
IPO
] switch (#
, described previously) to pro-
vide two stages of signal reduction when an ex-
tremely strong signal is being received.
MIC PROC Knobs
MIC Knob
The inner [ MIC
] knob adjusts the microphone input level
for (non-processed) SSB transmission.
A
DVICE
:
ˆ If you adjust the MIC Gain while speaking in a
louder-than-normal voice level and watching the
ALC level on the right-side meter, adjust the MIC
Gain so that the ALC reaches over to the right edge
of the ALC scale. Then, when you speak in a more
normal voice level, you’ll be certain not to be over-
driving the mic amplifier stage.
ˆ The Sub band (VFO-B) frequency display will show
the microphone gain level for 3 seconds whenever
the outer [
MIC
] knob is turned.
You may disable this feature (displaying the Spot
tone frequency) via Menu item “
DISPLAY 022
LEVEL INDICATOR .” See page 148 for details.
PROC Knob
The outer [ PROC
] knob sets the compression (input)
level of the transmitter RF speech processor in the SSB
and AM modes, when activated by the button with the
same name (see next section).
A
DVICE
:
The Sub band (VFO-B) frequency display will show
the relative speech processor gain level for 3 seconds
whenever the outer [
PITCH
] knob is turned.
You may disable this feature (displaying the Spot tone
frequency) via Menu item “
DISPLAY 022 LEVEL
INDICATOR .” See page 148 for details.
PROC (Processor) Switch
This button enables the RF speech processor for SSB
transmission. Processing level is set by the outer con-
trol with the same name (see previous section). While
activated, the LED in this button glows red.
