SQUELCH SWITCH [SQL) (p. 9)
• Activates the voice squelch function to reject un-
desired background noise while no signal is being
received.

-The
squelch opens only when the received signal con-
tains voice or FSK components.
• Starts and stops the scan function after pushing
[FUNC]. (p. 6)
8 NOISE BLANKER SWITCH
[NB]
(p.

Turns the noise blanker function ON to remove
pulse-type noise such as engine ignition noise.
- "NB" appears when the function
is

MODE SWITCH (p. 8)
Selects an operating mode temporarily. Available
modes differ according to version.
- J3E(USB), H3E, J2B(AFSK),
FSK, R3E and
A 1 A(CW) modes are available.
- The temporary mode is cleared and the previous
mode appears when changing a channel.

OVEN INDICATOR (GMDSS version only)
Internal high-stability crystal oscillator unit contains
a temperature-compensating oven heater. This
high-stability crystal oscillator improves frequency
stability.

Displays the transmit frequency and opens the
squelch to check and monitor the transmit fre-
quency.

2182kHz SELECTION SWITCH
[2182KHz • I RESET I ] (pgs. ii, 5)
• Selects channel 0 (2182kHz; distress call fre-
quency).
-The
channel selector does not function when se-
lecting channel
0.
- Ignores external control and gives the front panel
control priority when
an
external controller (NMEA
format) is connected (except
DSC terminal unit).
G)
ALARM SWITCH
(p.
ii)
• Emits a distress alarm signal from the speaker.
• Transmits a distress alarm or alarm testing signal
when pushed together with the [TX FREQ] switch.
