OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
3-1 KEYPAD FUNCTIONS The keypad
is used to enter frequency, to select VFO's,
Mode, Bandwidth, alphanumeric tag, and to
access microprocessor controlled functions.
When a key is pressed, a “beep” will be heard
from the speaker, indicating key closure. The
beep level can be adjusted with the rear panel
BEEP/VOICE control.
Some of the keys have two functions
with the top functions accessed via the SHIFT
key. After completing a multi-key function a
double beep will be heard.
3-L1 SELECTING MODE
(| ам ][ FM )
Mode selection on the PARAGON is accom-
plished by pressing the desired mode key on
the keypad. The corresponding LED will light
indicating the chosen mode. When selecting
AM, LSB, or USB modes, a typical crystal
filter selection of either 6.0 or 2.4 kHz will
automatically be chosen. This can be changed
by pressing a different Filter key. See PARA-
GRAPH 4-1.3 for RTTY operation.
3-12 CRYSTAL FILTER SELECTION
tara eame
These keys select the desired IF bandwidth. In
the standard configuration, the 6.0 and 2.4 kHz
filters are installed. Optional filters may be
installed for 1.8, .5, and .25 kHz. LEDs above
the keys indicate the selected bandwidth.
Bandwidth selection is independant of
the mode selected except in the optional FM
mode. The IF bandwidth is automatically 15
kHz when this mode is selected.
3-1.3 TUNE
[ TUNE ]
This key is used to place the transceiver in the
transmit mode, or “key down". Itis used when
adjusting power output, and for system checks
and SWR measurements. Pressing this kev a
T | > и
ceive mode. NOTE: If TUNE is pressed when
the transmit frequency is outside the ham
bands, nothing will happen.
3-1.4 RECEIVE & TRANSMIT OFFSET
This function allows independent control of
the receive and/or transmit frequencies with a
range of + 99.9 kHz. LEDs above the keys
indicate the selected function, the OFF. an-
nunciator lights, and the fluorescent display
shows the frequency deviation + in kHz.
In the RX OFFset mode, received sta-
tions may be "zeroed in" without affecting the
transmit frequency. TX OFFset may be used,
for example, to answer a station calling CQ
and "listening 2 kHz up".
Only one OFFset function can be used at
atime. Pressing the key a second time disables
the selected offset function.
