@RF GAIN CONTROL

RF GAIN is controlled by changing the AGC threshold vol-

tage. Adjust the RF GAIN so the S-meter reading in-

creases to a point just lower than speech peaks. This also

reduces noise during reception. For normal operation, this

control should be turned fully clockwise for maximum sen-

sitivity.

• @

AGC switch

The AGC control is normally set as follows:

FAST............. CW, FSK

SLOW ........... SSB

OFF ............... Weak signal reception

The S-meter does not function in the OFF position.

Simultaneous use of the RF GAIN control and AGC switch

may be of assistance when strong local signals are pre-

sent. If a strong signal (such as a local amateur radio sta-

tion) appears near the desired receive signal, the S-meter

may show unusual deflection due to the AGC voltage that

is developed as a result of the strong meter being signal. If

this occurs, tum the RF GAIN down so the meter pointer

remains at approximately the original deflection peak, and

tum the AGC switch OFF.

This will eliminate the unwanted AGC voltage and permit

clear reception.
