effective for repetitive impulse noise such
as ignition interference.

This is an
LED
[light emitting diode] digital read-out
[located above Channel Selector knob]
which indicates the channel selected by
the Channel Selector.

Talk Microphone
The receiver section and transmitter
section are controlled by the
Push-to-
Talk
switch on the side of microphone
[supplied]. Press the switch and trans-
mitter is activated, release switch to re-
ceive. When transmitting hold the micro-
phone 5 or 6 centimeters from your lips
and speak at a normal voice. The radio
will not be operational without connect-
ing the low impedance dynamic micro-
phone supplied with, thus avoiding un-
authorized use of your transceiver.
Receive Operation
Connect the microphone to the radio
then proceed as follows.
1.
Place the
CB-PA
switch in the
CB
position.
2.
Rotate the
Squelch Control
in full
counterclockwise position.
3.
Rotate the
RF Gain Control
in
full clockwise position.
4.
Temporarily, place the
LSB-USB-
AM
switch in
AM
position.
5.
Turn the unit on by rotating the
Volume Control
clockwise anc set the
knob for a comfortable listening level.
6.
Select a channel that is unoccupied
by any other station and turn the
Squelch Control
slowly clockwise until
the hissing noise just disappears. [Refer
to the appropriate section under
Control Functions
in page
2.]
7.
Adjust the
LSB-USB-AM
switch and
the
Clarifier
for advanced SSB re-
ception. The knack of adjusting the
Clarifier
is very critical and important
when listening to an SSB signal. We
suggest that you spend some time to
get farmilier with it by refering to the
appropriate section priviously men-
tioned.
Transmit Operation
After you have checked that the chan-
nel you have chosen is so clear that no
one will be interrupted by your trans-
mission, proceed as follows.
1.
Select the mode of transmission,
LSB, USB, or AM.
2.
Again, make sure that the channel
is unoccupied.
3.
Depress the
Push-to-Talk
switch on
the microphone.
4.
Speak in a normal tone of con-
versational voice. Do not transmit the
unmodulated wave [carrier] as doing
so may result in violation of the rules.
5.
To stop transmission and receive
release the
Push-to-Talk
switch.
