■ Receiving
The IC-2710H can receive 144 MHz and 430(440) MHz band
signals simultaneously.
➀ Push [POWER] for 1 sec. to turn power ON.
➁ Set the audio levels.
➥ Push [
(SQL)MONI] to open the squelch.
➥ Rotate the [VOL] control to adjust the audio output level.
➥ Push [
(SQL)MONI] again to close the squelch.
➂ Set the squelch levels.
➥ Rotate [SQL] fully counterclockwise in advance.
➥ Rotate [SQL] clockwise until the noise just disappears.
➥ When interference is received, rotate [SQL] clockwise
again for attenuator operation.
➃ Set the operating frequency. (pgs. 15–19)
➄ When receiving a signal on the set frequency, squelch
opens and the transceiver emits audio.
•“BUSY” appears and the S/RF indicator shows the relative signal
strength on the received band.

When receiving a signal on VHF.
The volume and squelch levels can be adjusted via the mi-
crophone. However, levels return to the front panel setting
when power is turned OFF or a front panel control is adjusted.
Ä Push [POWER] on the transceiver for 1 sec. to
turn power ON.
Å Set the audio levels.
➥ Select the desired band.
➥ Push [➀MONI], then push [BZVOL] or
[IYVOL] to adjust the audio level.
➥ Push [➀MONI] again to close the squelch.
Ç Set the squelch level using [AZSQL] or
[HYSQL], if desired.
É Set the operating frequency. (pgs. 15–19)
✔ CONVENIENT
RF attenuator: The transceiver has an RF attenuator related
to the [SQL] setting. The attenuator is automatically activated
when [SQL] is rotated further than the 12 o’clock position.
Approx. 10 dB attenuation is obtained at full rotation.
