SECTION III , STATION OPERATION
A. Function of Controls, Indicators and Connectors (Fig. 6)
VOLUME CONTROL - POWER ON/OFF SWITCH
When this control is turned fully counterclockwise, the
power switch is in the OFF position. Turning the con-
trol clockwise turns the power ON and controls the vol-
ume level.
S/RF POWER METER
Meter indicates relative signal strength of incoming
signals from 1 through 9. A reading of 1 indicates a
weak or distant station and a reading of 9 would indi-
cate a local or a higher power station. The RF power
scale indicates the relative RF power in watts being
transmitted by your transmitter.
AUTO NOISE LIMITER
This control reduces excessive noise impulses. When the
control is in the UP position, the noise is reduced,
when in the OFF position the circuit does not function.
CB/PA SWITCH
This switch selects the mode of operation. When set in
the CB position, the transceiver will function as a
Citizens Band Radio. When set in the PA position, and
an EXTERNAL PA SPEAKER and volume control is connected
to the PA jack on the rear panel, the unit operates as
a public address amplifier.
RF GAIN CONTROL
This control is used to increase the sensitivity of the
receiver so that distant stations may be received more
clearly, or to decrease the sensitivity so that very
strong stations may be received more clearly.
