VX-150 OPERATING MANUAL6
SWITCHING POWER ON AND OFF
Be sure the battery pack is installed.
Connect the antenna to the top panel ANTENNA
jack.
Switch on the transceiver by rotating the VOL con-
trol clockwise out of the click-stop (a momentary
beep will sound).
ADJUSTING THE VOLUME LEVEL
Rotate the VOL control (immediately to the right of the Antenna) to set the desired audio
level. Clockwise rotation increases the volume level.
SQUELCH SETUP
Set the SQL control fully counterclockwise, rotate the
VOL control out of the click-stop and adjust for a com-
fortable volume on the noise or received signal. The
BUSY/TX indicator LED should glow green. If a sig-
nal is present, rotate the DIAL selector on the top panel
to a channel where only noise is heard.
Adjust the SQL control just to the point where the noise is silenced and the LED is extin-
guished. If the SQL control is set further clockwise, sensitivity to weak signals will be
reduced. Now, whenever a signal reaches the receiver that is strong enough to open the
squelch, the indicator will glow green.
TRANSMITTING
When you wish to transmit, wait until the channel is clear (BUSY/TX lamp off), and squeeze
the PTT switch. During transmission the BUSY/TX indicator glows red, and relative trans-
mitter power output is indicated graphically along the bottom of the display. Release the
PTT switch to receive.
If using a “B” version (in Europe), press the
T-CALL switch (just below the PTT switch)
to transmit a 1750 Hz tone to access repeat-
ers that require it.
