WARNING:
Under no circumstances should operation of the SB-36 be attempted without a
proper antenna or dummy load of specific power handling capability. Please
read Sections 4.1 through 4.3 fully before attempting to operate the SB-36
Transceiver.
4.1 RECEIVER OPERATION
4.1.1 Rotate the mode selector switch clockwise from the P. OFF position to the
desired operating mode. Allow approximately two minutes for warm-up.

4.1.3 Advance the RF gain control to the full clockwise position.
4.1.4 Rotate the AF Gain Control to its mid-range position.
4.1.5 Rotate the VFO Tuning Knob to the desired operating frequency.
4.1.6 Adjust the PRE-SELECT control until maximum back ground noise/interning
signal is obtained.
4.1.7 Place the noise blanker and AGC controls in desired operating position.

4.1.9 Fine tuning of the incoming signal may be accomplished by either rotating the
main VFO tuning knob or by use of the RIT control.
NOTE: If the RIT control is used, the Nixie tube read-out will indicate the exact
frequency of the incoming signal. When the SB-36 is placed in the transmit
mode, the Nixie tube read-out will revert back to the frequency selected when
the RIT control was off.
