SKY-SDR USER MANUAL Ver. 1.3.1 - 28-MAR-2017
9 AGC RX
Adjusts the recovery speed of the receiver's AGC,
from 1 (slowest) to 20 (fastest). Use slower speeds
for SSB and faster speeds for CW. Set to preferred
position for each mode. Default: 2.
10 Noise Blanker
When the noise blanker (NB) is activated by pushing
"F" + "DOWN/NB", this adjusts the blanking. 4 is
maximum blanking and 12 is minimum blanking.
Set this value as high as possible while blanking is
still effective. This minimizes audio distortion. You
can listen to the changes in real-time as you adjust.
11 S-Meter Mode
This toggles the S-Meter between Bar Graph and uV
readout.
S-Meter is calibrated with PRE-
AMP “ON”.
12 TX Meter
Toggles readout between 'Bar Graph' and 'Output
Power' displayed in Watts.
13 Show TX
Toggles readout between SWR and Output Power
14 Power TX
Adjusts 'Output Power' from 10 to 100. 10 is
approximately 1W and 100 is approx. 5 to 8 Watts,
dependant on the source voltage.
15 LED Mode
Toggles display's LED backlight between 2 positions:
'FOREVER' (always on) and 'AUTO' (on for 3 seconds
each time a front panel control is adjusted). When
light is off, it saves 40mA of current drain.
16 AM/FM Mode
Enables or disables display and selection of these
two modes. When enabled, the mode button togles
through ALL modes. When disabled the mode
switch toggles through SSB, CW and DIGI modes
(only). This is individually adjustable and stored for
each band.
17 Squelch FM
Adjusts the squelch sensitivity level for FM mode
from 0 to 100. When set to 0, the squelch is
essentially turned off.
18 Squelch SSB/CW
Adjusts the squelch sensitivity level for all modes
except FM from 0 to 100. When set to 0, the
squelch is essentially turned off.
19 SSB TX MUTE
The SSB TX 'Monitor' is enabled or disabled with this
adjustment. "Enable" mutes this function. Also
useful for setting
20 Gain TX DIGI
Adjusts the transmitter's 'AF Gain' in Digi Modes.
