Preamplifiers
The preamps amplify received signals in the receiver
front end to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and
sensitivity. A preamp is used when receiving weak
signals.

Widedynamicrangepreamplifier.
P.AMP1
It is most effective for the HF low bands.
High-gainpreamplifier.
P.AMP2
It is most effective for the 50 MHz bands.
NOTE: When you use the preamp while receiving
strong signals, the receiving signal may be distorted.
In such case, turn OFF the preamp.
Attenuator
The Attenuator prevents a desired signal from
becoming distorted when a very strong signal is near
thefrequency,orwhenaverystrongelectricfield,
such as from a broadcasting station, is near your
location.

RECEIVING AND TRANSMITTING
RIT function
The RIT (Receive Increment Tuning) function
compensates for differences in frequencies of other
stations.
The function shifts the receive frequency up to ±9.99
without shifting the transmit frequency.
1. Push
2. Set the RIT frequency to match the receiving
3. After communicating, push
D RIT monitor function
When the RIT function is ON, you can directly monitor
the operating frequency by holding down
