During SSB operation, this control operates as a voice clarifier: also rotate the control for clearer
voice reception.
RF GAIN CONTROL
This control adjusts the RF gain of the receiver. To increase the RF gain (reception sensitivity),
turn the knob clockwise; and to decrease, turn counter clockwise.
When your transceiver is operated in an excessively strong signal strength area, the reception may
sound distorted due to the signal overload. To correct this, adjust the RF gain control to decrease
the reception sensitivity.
ANL-NB SWITCH
This is the switch which actuates the ANL (Automatic Noise Limitter) and NB (Noise Blanker)
circuits to reduce undesirable noises you may encounter during receive operation. The noise blanker
is the circuit designed to blank out impulse noises such as ignition noises from vehicles for quiet
reception. Place the switch in either position for minimum noise interference when the noise is
excessive.
CB-PA SWITCH
This selects the mode of operation. For normal CB operation, place the switch in the CB (released
out) position, and place in the PA (depressed) position when using the transceiver as a simple public
address amplifier.
SIGNAL STRENGTH/RF POWER METER
During reception, this indicates a relative signal strength in S unit on the upper scale. During trans-
mission, this indicates the transmit power from the antenna on the lower scale. The meter pointer
flickers slightly when you are speaking into the microphone, indicating your voice is being trans-
mitted.
CHANNEL SELECTOR
This selects one of full 23 channels you desire of AM, LSB and USB.
MIC JACK
This accepts 4-pin microphone plug from the Push-to-Talk Microphone supplied with the unit.
PA JACK
When you operate the transceiver as a simple Public Address amplifier, connect a PA speaker,
8-16 ohm, to this jack.
