P. AMP
Wide dynamic range preamplifier. It is
most effective for 1.8 to 21 MHz bands.
P. AMP
High-gain preamplifier. It is most effective
for 24 to 50 MHz bands.
■ Attenuator
The attenuator prevents a desired signal from being
distorted when very strong signals are near the sig-
nal’s frequency, or when very strong electromagnetic
fields, such as from broadcast stations are near your
location.
These can both be independently set for each band.

✔ About the “P.AMP2” preamplifier
The preamp 2 is a high gain receive amplifier. When
it is used in the presence of strong electromagnetic
fields, distortion sometimes results. In such cases, use
either the “P.AMP 1” or “P.AMP OFF” setting.
