Operating Controls,
connectors: Their
functions and uses.
Sterling at the upper left (driver’s side)
and moving counter-clockwise:
5/RF Power Meter. This new high-visibility,
btack-on-light green meter is used two
ways. (1) When receiving, it gives the
relative strength of incoming signais. (2)
When transmitting, it shows RF (Radio
Frequency) power output.
4-pin/screw-type Microphone Connector.
Securely links your microphone to the main
unit during use, yet allows quick
disconnection when out of service.
Off/AF Gain Control. Turns your CB on and
adjusts the Audio Frequency (volume) level
for comfortable réception.
Squelch Control. Turned clockwise, it
quiets the receiver when signais are not
being received and allows a quiet standby
operation.
The Squelch Control functions only in
the receive mode and does not affect
receiver volume when signais are being
received.
To adjust, when no signais are present,
rotate the Squelch Control clockwise until
the receiver is quieted. Incoming signais
will automatically release the squelch
actign.
Careful adjustment is necessary as a
setting too far clockwise will not allow
weaker signais to release the squelch
action.
LED Digital Channel Display. Illuminated in
easy-to-read green, it displays the channel
selected by use of the analog-numbered
dial just below.
RF (Radio Frequency) Gain Control.
Controls the réception sensitivity (range) of
your CB. To decrease RF gain — to reduce
interférence, for example, in congested
urban areas — turn the knob counter-
clockwise; to increase turn clockwise. The
RF Gain Control affects réception only. It
will not affect transmitter output power.
Clarifier Control. “Fine-tunes” signais
received on either the upper or lower
sideband.
LSB-AM-USB Mode Selector Switch.
Selects the mode of transmission and
réception. Either the upper sideband or
lower sideband of a channel can be
selected, or conventional AM operation.
Mic (Microphone) Gain Control. Adjusts the
sensitivity of the microphone amplifier
circuit to suit individual voice
characteristics and ambient noise
conditions to provide maximum
intelligibility. Rotating the control counter-
clockwise reduces the sensitivity and
requires “close-talking” into the
