FUNCTIONS FOR RECEIVE
The AGC (auto gain control) controls receiver gain to
produce a constant audio output level even when the
received signal strength varies greatly.
The transceiver has 3 preset AGC characteristics (time
constant: fast, mid, slow) for non-FM mode.
The FM mode AGC time constant is fixed as 'FAST'
(0.1 sec.) and AGC time constant cannot be se-
lected.
q Select non-FM mode.
w Push [AGC] several times to select AGC fast, AGC
medium (MID) or AGC slow.
• Push [AGC VR] for 1 sec. to turn the AGC function OFF.
q Select non-FM mode.
w Push [AGC VR], then rotate [AGC] control to adjust
the AGC time constant.
• [AGC VR] indicator above the switch lights green.
q Select the desired mode (not FM mode).
w Push [AGC] for 1 sec. to enter AGC set mode.
e Push [AGC] several times to select FAST time con-
stant.
r Rotate the main dial to set the desired time constant
for 'AGC FAST.'
• AGC time constant can be set between 0.1 to 8.0 sec.
(depends on mode) or turned OFF.
• Push [F-4•DEF] for 1 sec. to select a default value.
t Push [AGC] to select medium time constant.
y Rotate the main dial to set the desired time constant
for 'AGC MID.'
• AGC time constant can be set between 0.1 to 8.0 sec.
(depends on mode) or turned OFF.
• Push [F-4•DEF] for 1 sec. to select a default value.
u Push [AGC] to select slow time constant.
i Rotate the main dial to set the desired time constant
for 'AGC SLOW.'
• AGC time constant can be set between 0.1 to 8.0 sec.
(depends on mode) or turned OFF.
• Push [F-4•DEF] for 1 sec. to select a default value.
o Select another mode (not FM). Repeat steps e to
i if desired.
!0 Push [EXIT/SET] to exit the AGC set mode screen.
