INSTALLATION
AND
OPERATION
This section of the Manual first describes the con-
nections on the rear panel of
your Transceiver and
then describes the operation
of
the
front panel con-
trols. If
you
install
and
operate your unit as de-
scribed,
you
will achieve the greatest
satisfaction
from your
Transceiver.
REAR
PANEL
CONNECTIONS
Refer
to
Pictorial
7-1
(Illustration
Booklet, Page
36)
for the locations of the following rear panel connec-
tions.
GROUND
METER ZERO
This control is accessible through a hole in the rear
panel and allows
you to set
the S-meter
pointer
to
zero when no signal is being received.
This
binding
post
is provided
so
you can ground
your Transceiver. Use #18 (or heavier) wire and con-
nect it securely to a grounded water pipe or other
earth ground. If you use a
water pipe,
be sure there
are
no plastic
pipes
or connectors between the
Transceiver and the earth.
MUTE DELAY
This control is accessible through a hole in the rear
panel
and
allows
you to set
the
delay between the
time
you
release
the CW
key
and the receiver un-
mutes.
ANTENNA
SIDETONE LEVEL
This Transceiver will provide satisfactory results
with almost any dipole or inverted vee antenna that
has a
50-
to
75-ohm impedance and
a low VSWR.
Such antennas are easy to construct from lightweight
hookup wire, and they are inexpensive. However,
antennas of
the
beam or quad type will provide a
significant
improvement in performance.
An effi-
cient antenna
will produce more reliable and
enjoy-
able contacts.
This control is accessible through
a
hole
in the rear
panel and allows
you to set the side tone to the de-
sired
level.
