XIT (Transmitter Incremental Tuning)
XIT is very similar to RIT. XIT is only active in
the transmit mode. By using the XIT function it is
possible to offset the transmit frequency without
the normal toss of receiver audio that is
experienced when using the SPLIT function.
Offsets of +9.99 kHz are possible.
The RIT/ XIT offset can be preset, without
affecting the actual operating frequency by
turning OFF the RIT/XIT and using the RIT/ XIT
display to determine the offset.
This is useful to communicate with a DX station
using "split" within the XIT range.
7 AF gain control
Turn the knob to increase or decrease the volume.
Clockwise rotation increases the volume and
counterclockwise rotation decreases the volume.
Note
The output level of the "Beep" and "Sidetone" are
not affected by the setting of the AF gain control. |
38 RF gain control
This control adjusts the gain of the receiver high-
frequency amplifier section.
For normal receiver performance and maximum gain,
this control should be turned clockwise to the limit. If
you are having trouble copying the desired signal
make a note of the stations peak S-meter reading.
Then adjust the RF gain control left so that the
meter needle is stationary at this level. Now all
signals that were less than the desired signal will be
attenuated, such as static noise, etc., making
reception easier.
If the incoming signal! pegs the S-meter you can also
reduce the receiver gain by moving the RF gain
control to the left. The S-meter lamps will light
sequentially as the RF gain control is turned, to
indicate that the gain has been reduced.
Simultaneous use of the RF gain control and
AGC switch
If a strong signal (such as a local station) appears in
the vicinity of the intended receive signal, the S-
meter may show unusual deflection due to the AGC
voltage developed from the strong disturbing signal.
If this occurs, move the RF gain control to the left so
the meter pointer remains at about the original
deflection peak and turn the AGC switch to the
FAST position. This will reduce the unwanted AGC
voltage and permit clear reception.
3 M.CH/VFO CH control
This control is used to change the frequency in 10
kHz steps during VFO operations.
This control is also used to select the desired
memory channei during Memory Channel Operation.
4ù IF VBT control
This control is very similar to the SSB Slope Tuning
controls. However, with the IF VBT control one
side of the IF passband can be narrowed. The actual
range depends upon the CW filters that have been
installed.
& AF VBT control
Turn the knob to ease interference when in the CW
receive mode.
@ SSB SLOPE TUNE HIGH CUT control
Adjust the HIGH CUT control counterclockwise, and
interference from signals higher than the operating
frequency will be reduced. The high-frequency
components of the resulting receiver audio will also
be reduced.
$} SSB SLOPE TUNE LOW CUT control
Adjust the LOW CUT control clockwise, and
interference from signals lower than the operating
frequency will be reduced. Like the HIGH CUT
control, use of the LOW CUT control will also affect
the audio frequency passband. In this case the low
frequency components of the audio signal will be
reduced.
E Microphone
@MQuUP/DWN(Up/Down) switches
These switches are used to step the VFO frequency
or memory channel up and down. The frequency will
change continuously if the switches are pressed and
held.
@ PTT (Push To Talk) switch
The transceiver will be placed into the transmit mode
whenever this switch is pressed.
