26 RIT Control
With the RIT switch ON, the RIT knob allows the Operator
to vary the receive frequency by about f 1.5 kHz without
affecting the transmit frequency. The Center Position "0"
is RIT-OFF.
2 7 IF SHIFT Knob
By using this control, the IF crystal filter Center frequency
can be shifted + 1 kHz, allowing adjustment of tone quali-
ty, or eliminating interference from adjacent frequencies.
For normal Operation, this control should be set to the
Center " 0 " Position (detent).
28 SQUELCH Control

30 AF GAIN Control
This control adjusts the gain of the receiver audio amplifier.
Clockwise rotation will increase the output level
31 RF GAIN Control
For adjusting the RF amplifier gain of the receiver. The gain
is minimum at the extreme counterclockwise Position. Nor-
mally, this control is set in its extreme clockwise Position.
3 2 F . S T E P Switch
By using this switch, the VFO frequency is varied at a slow
or fast Speed as shown below. The operating conditions
can be checked on the F. STEP indicator.

33 RIT Switch
This push switch turns the RIT (Receiver Increment Tuning)
circuit ON and OFF. With the switch depressed, the circuit
is activated and the RIT indicator is illuminated. The RIT cir-
cuit is turned OFF when the switch is out.
3 4 S C A N Switch
This switch turns ON and OFF the VFO scan
VFO frequency is scanned at the Speed
F. STEP switch. The switch is also used for re-scanning of
M. S (memory scan) or for scanning at busy stop.

3 6 M . S Switch
This switch selects and scans the frequency stored in the
memory channel. Scan
by setting the transceiver in transmit mode.
3 7 B A N D Switch
For selecting the band (144-145
to be operated. By pressing the UP switch, the frequency is
stepped up band by band. When the DOWN switch is
pressed, the frequency is stepped down band by band. In
either case, the band is switched in 1 MHz Steps.
3 8 M ( M e m o r y ) Switch
This switch is used to store the desired frequency in the
memory channel.

The RIT switch can be used even in the ON Position of the
F. LOCK switch. The F. LOCK indicator will light when the
F. LOCK switch is ON.
4 0 M . R ( M e m o r y Recalll Switch
Memory channel is called out when this switch is turned
ON. For the channels in which frequencies are not stored,
the corresponding channel numbers are indicated.
