1 0-CODES
Citizen band radio operators have largely adopted the 10-code for standard questions and answers.
Its use permits faster communication and better intelligibility in noisy areas. The following table
lists some of the more common codes and their meanings.

USING YOUR TRANSCEIVER
Note:
For detailed information on Installing, refer to INSTALLATION. Do not transmit without an
Antenna or suitable load connected. Do not operate the PA function without a speaker connected to
the PA SP jack.
Your Transceiver can be used either as a base or mobile unit.
Connect the power cable to a source of 12 volts DC.
Connect coaxial transmission cable from your Antenna to the ANTENNA coax connector on the rear
panel.
For most efficient operation and safety, use a separate ground wire connection between the chassis
of your Transceiver and a cold water pipe or ground rod.
TO RECEIVE AM SIGNALS
1. Set RF GAIN control maximum clockwise.
2.
Set SQUELCH control maximum counterclockwise.
3.
Set Mode to AM.
4.
Turn power "on" by rotating VOLUME clockwise.
5. Set Channel Selector to the desired channel.
6.
Adjust SQUELCH to cut out annoying background noise when no signal is being received. To do this,
set Channel Selector to a channel where no signals are present (or wait till signals cease on your
channel). Then, rotate SQUELCH in a clockwise direction to the point where the background noise
just stops. Now, when a signal is present, you will hear it, but will not be disturbed by noise on the
channel in between signals.
When properly set, SQUELCH will keep the receiver "dead" until a signal comes in on that channel.
Do not set SQUELCH too high, or weak signals will not be able to "open" the Squelch circuit. To
receive weak signals, it is best to leave SQUELCH set to the minimum position (maximum counter-
clockwise).
