FUNCTIONS FOR RECEIVE
2001 NEW
■ Noise reduction
The noise reduction function reduces noise compo-
nents and picks out desired signals which are buried
in noise. The received signals are converted to digital
signals and then the desired signals are separated
from the noise.

ON.
•“NR” appears.
w Rotate the [NR] control to adjust the noise reduction
level.
e Push the [NR] switch to turn the noise reduction
OFF.
•“NR” disappears.
Deep rotation of the [NR] control results in audio sig-
nal masking or distortion. Set the [NR] control for
maximum readability.

tween auto, manual and OFF in SSB and AM
