. Operating instructions To go between different screens, press the Main Function Knob. Screen display instructions 【TS+】Increase frequency step This moves the frequency marker from right to left. When it gets to the far left it wraps around to the lowest digit. When you turn the frequency knob clockwise, you increase the frequency based on the frequency step you are under.
Page 11
【PRE】Switch receive preamp on or off When the Preamp is on, the sensitivity is increased about 10 dBm. You would typically keep the preamp on when you want to listen to very weak signals. The preamp increases the background noise as well as the weak signals. When the preamp is on, there is a small PRE indication near the top left of the screen...

Select desired operating mode – CW/AM/LSB/USB. 【MODE】 Select CW for Morse Code, AM for amplitude modulation, LSB for lower side band when using single sideband modulation, and USB for upper sideband when using single sideband modulation. The modulation choice is shown on the second line about the middle of the screen. 【AGC】...
Page 13
【A=B】 Set VFO A the same as VFO B. You would keep VFO A and VFO B the same when you want to transmit and receive on the same frequency. This minimizes the spectrum usage and is a good practice when speaking to one other person but is not always the optimum way of doing things.
Page 14
【V/M】 Select VFO or Memory mode. When in the VFO Mode, the frequency knob will change the frequency. When in the Channel Mode, the frequency knob will change the channel. In Frequency Mode, the VFO can be continually adjusted to a resolution of 10 Hz. In the channel mode, the frequency is whatever the channel was programmed for.

【FIL】 Select filter The radio has three filters optimized for different modes. There is a 500 Hz narrow band filter which is used for CW. There is a 2.3 KHz filter which is used for SSB. There is a 6 KHz filter used for AM. 【KEY】...

【SQL】 Select to adjust Squelch level. Squelch is displayed where the power output used to be. The speed can be adjusted from 0 to 10. The up key and down key is used to adjust the squelch. 【CMP】Voice Compression settings. Compression is displayed where the power output used to be.
