Receiver Controls: 

 
Receiver controls are shown in the figure below. Most are self explanatory. The RF Gain control is normally set to 
full clockwise for maximum sensitivity. RF Gain may be reduced for close in searching or while direction finding. 
The Audio control should be set for a comfortable level. Its setting does not affect detection sensitivity. Any 
monaural headset with a 0.25 inch jack may be used. Most users prefer headsets with muffs to reduce external 
noise from wind or aircraft. Inserting the headset jack disables the internal speaker. 
 
The AUX connector is used to interface antenna switches or other controlled devices. 
 
The SIG LED will light for every valid pulse detected.  See specifications for valid pulse detections.
