AGC

]

 Switch

Move this knob up and down to select the receiver AGC
characteristics (receiver-recovery time). Available se-
lections are FAST, MID, SLOW, or AUTO, and the
selected receiver-recovery time appears in the AGC
column of the Block Diagram Display.
Hold this knob up or down for two seconds to disable
the AGC (for testing or weak-signal reception).

A

DVICE

:

ˆ

Press this knob in briefly to quickly select “AUTO”.

ˆ

If the AGC is disabled by holding the [

AGC

] knob

up or down, the S-meter will no longer deflect. Ad-
ditionally, you will likely encounter distortion on
stronger signals, as the IF amplifiers and the fol-
lowing stages may be overloaded.

[

METER

]

 Switch

This control switch determines the function of the meter
during transmission.

COMP

: Indicates the speech compression level (SSB

mode only).

ALC

:

Indicates the relative ALC voltage.

PO

:

Indicates the average power output level.

SWR

:

Indicates the Standing Wave Ratio (Forward:
Reflected).

ID

:

Indicates the final amplifier drain current.

VDD

:

Indicates the final amplifier drain voltage.
