@5 MULTIFUNCTION SWITCHES
Push to select the functions indicated in the LCD
display to the right of these switches.
Functions vary depending on the operating condition.
While operating HF bands, selects the an-
tenna connector from HF ANT 1, HF ANT
2 and HF ANT 3 when pushed. (p. 9-3)
During 30–1150 MHz operation, only ANT 1
is available.
During 1150–3335 MHz operation, only ANT
2 is available.
Turns the antenna control voltage ON and
OFF form [ANT SEL] when pushed and
held for 1 sec. (p. 9-3)
Selects one of 2 receive RF preamps or
bypasses them. (p. 5-9)
•“P. AMP1” activates 10 dB preamp.
“P. AMP2” activates 16 dB high-gain preamp.
What is the preamp?
The preamp amplifies received signals in the front end cir-
cuit to improve S/N ratio and sensitivity. Select “P. AMP1” or
“P. AMP2” when receiving weak signals.
Selects the attenuator when pushed.
(p. 5-9)
HF bands: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 dB.
30–1150 MHz,: 10, 20, 30 dB.
•1150–3335 MHz: 20 dB only.
Turns OFF the attenuator when pushed
and held for 1 sec. (p. 5-9)
What is the attenuator?
The attenuator prevents a desired signal from distorting
when very strong signals are near the receiving frequency,
or when very strong electric fields, such as from a broad-
casting station, are near your location.
Selects one of 3 IF filter settings.
Enters the filter set screen when pushed
and held for 1 sec.
Activates and selects fast, middle or slow
AGC time constant when pushed. (p. 5-10)
In FM/WFM or P25 mode, only “FAST” is

Enters the AGC set mode when pushed
and held for 1 sec. (p. 5-10)
AGC time constant can be set from 0.1 to 8.0 sec.
(depends on mode)
, or turned OFF. When AGC is
“OFF,” the S-meter does not function.
What is the AGC?
The AGC controls receiver gain to produce a constant audio
output level, even when the received signal strength varies
dramatically. Select “FAST” for tuning and then select “MID”
or “SLOW” depending on the receiving conditions.
Switches between the tone squelch,
DTCS squelch function and no-tone oper-
