FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 

1.   MICROPHONE INPUT

 

 

A 4 pin, screw ring microphone connector is used. 
Microphone wiring is as follows: 
Pin 1: Ground (Gnd) 

 

Pin 2: Microphone Audio (AF) 
Pin 3: Transmit (TX) 
Pin 4: Receive (RX) 

 

2.  

(OFF)

 VOL       SQL

 

 

 

 (OFF)

: Turns the radio on and off. Rotate the control 

counterclockwise until it clicks. 

 
 

VOL

: Volume. Adjusts the AF gain, or volume of the 

receive audio. Turn clockwise to increase and 
counterclockwise to decrease. 

 
 

SQL

: Squelch. Used to eliminate background or 

“white” noise when monitoring strong signals. To 
properly adjust the squelch circuit, start rotating the 
control slowly clockwise until the received white 
noise disappears.

 

 
3.  MIC         RF 
 
 MIC

: Microphone Gain. Increases or decreases the 

microphone audio output, or “talk power”. The gain 
increases as the control is rotated clockwise. 

 
 

RF

: RF Gain. Adjusts the receiver sensitivity to both 

signals and background noise. This affects the 
distance at which a signal can be detected. Turning 
the control counterclockwise reduces the receiver 
sensitivity. This is particularly useful in areas where 
large volumes of signals are present. The S/RF 
display (“SIG” bar) indicates the received signal’s 
strength. 

 
 

 
4.   BAND 
 

In the A position, the Raptor operates in the 10 
meter band. 

 
 

Positions B – F are memory channels for saving and 
fast recall of favorite frequencies. To program the 5 
memory channels, complete the following steps: 
1.  Connect radio to power and turn on. 
2.  Remove bottom (speaker side) cabinet) 
3.  Locate memory tact switch inside the radio. The 

memory tact switch is located near the front 
panel of the radio by the frequency control 
switch. It is a small push button tact switch along 
the side chassis of the radio. 

4.  Put band switch into position A. 
5.  Rotate frequency control to desired frequency 

(see 12. for details on viewing MHz and kHz 
frequency positions). 

6.  Press and hold memory tact switch inside radio. 

Note that the frequency display will blink. 

7.  With display blinking, rotate the band switch to 

the desired memory channel (B – F). 

8.  Release memory tact switch. The frequency is 

now saved in the selected memory channel. 

9.  Repeat steps 4 through 8 for other memory 

channel positions. 

 

5.   ECHO           DEL 
 

TURBO

TM

 Digital Echo is a Magnum radio exclusive 

feature. The 

TURBO

TM

 Digital Echo is louder, has a 

wider range, and a more natural sound than any 
other echo processor available. 

 
 

ECHO

: Echo Volume. Varies the volume or number 

of echo repetitions. To increase the echo volume, 
rotate the control clockwise. To turn the echo feature 
off completely, rotate the echo volume control full 
counterclockwise until it clicks.
