SWR CALIBRATION CONTROL
This control is installed to adjust the calibration of SWR meter. Connect antenna, and turn on the power switch. Then, press the
microphone button and adjust CAL control so that the meter needle comes to "CAL" point. Push "CAL" button. Read the value on the
meter. The closer a I the value comes, the better matched antenna system will be.
NOISE BLANKER
The noise blanker is designed to reduce excessive noise such as electrical interference,
1
ignition noise, etc. To operate, simply push
in the button. To turn off push it again.
SLIDE-O-TUNE
This control allows you to vary the operating frequencies of both transmitter and receiver below and above the assigned frequency.
This may be used for optimum tuning of both SSB and AM signals.
PA-CB SWITCH
This switch is to select the operating mode of either CB or PA.
TONE CONTROL
This control is used to adjust for the best clarity and tone of received signal.
INDICATORS
I . Transmit Light: Comes on when microphone button is pressed and transmitter is on the air.
2. AM Mode Light: Comes on when Mode Switch is placed to AM position.
3. USB Mode Light: Comes on when Mode Switch is placed to USB position
4. LSB Mode Light: Comes on when Mode Switch is placed to LSB position.
5. SWR Meter: This is to adjust the calibration of the Meter and to read the SWR. To adjust the calibration, push "CAL"button, and
turn "CAL" control knob and make sure the meter needle comes to "CAL" point. To read the SWR, release the "CAL" button and read
the value on the 'meter. The closer to I the needle comes, the better matched antenna system will be.
6. S Meter: A change of one S unit indicates a change of 6 db in signal level. The metering circuit is calibrated so that for 100
microvolts, the S meter will read S9. To operate, set the "SWR/RF-MOD" switch to "S/RF" position.
7. RF Output Meter: This shows relative RF power when transmitting. To operate, set the "SWR/RF-MOD" switch to "S/RF" position.
8. MOD Meter: This shows relative transmitting Modulation Percentage. The meter needle fluctuates when unit is voice modulated.
To operate, set the "SWR/RF-MOD" switch to "MOD" position.
