SWR Indicates voltage standing wave ratio
(VSWR).
ALC Indicates internal ALC voltage, or the ALC
voltage fed back from a linear amplifier
connected to this transceiver.
COMP: Indicates compression level during speech
processor operations. Do not exceed 10 dB
of compression. The PROC switch is ON
when the SSB mode.
@
8.83 FIL TEA key
Selects the desired 8.83MHz filter regardless of
mode.
@ 455 FIL TEA key
Selects the desired 455kHz filter regardless of
mode.
@Numeric keypad
Consists of a series of switches which will be used
to set, turn on and/ or turn off functions.
When used in conjunction with the ENT key, the
keypad is used to directly enter a frequency.
When used in conjunction with the M.IN key, the
keypad is used to enter data into a memory channel.
PLAY, REC key
Used to record and play voice or CW messages
for transmission. (The optional DRU-2 digital
recording unit is required.)
TUNE key
Sets the transmit power to half the rated power
regardless of the position of the PWR control.
Outputs a zero beat in CW receive mode. This
key is useful when tuning a linear amplifier.
FINE key
Makes one turn of the tuning knob equal.1 kHz (1
Hz step) to facilitate precise tuning. When the key
is pressed again, normal tuning returns.
REV key
The BFO uses USB for normal CW reception.
With this key, reception becomes possible on
LSB. The BFO uses LSB for normal FSK
operation. With this key, reception becomes
possible on USB. By pressing this key, reverse
shift is also used for transmission.
PITCH key
Press to turn the PITCH function ON or OFF.
@ CLR (Clear) key
Used when reentering memory channel data, erasing
a memory channel, clearing scan, or when
specifying the channels that will be skipped during
scan operations.
@ ENT (Enter) key
Used to directly enter a frequency from the numeric
keypad.
14
@M.INkey
Used to enter data into a memory channel.
@M .... VFOkey
Used to transfer a frequency from memory to the
VFO.
@SCAN key
Pressing during VFO operation will initiate program
scan, and pressing during memory operation will
initiate memory scan.
@MODE keys
These keys are used to select the desired mode of
operation. When a MODE key is pressed the first
character of that mode will be sounded in Morse
code thru the internal speaker.
LSB/USB key
Press the LSB/USB key to alternate between LSB
and USB mode.
CW/FSKkey
Press the CW /FSK key to alternate between CW
(R) and FSK(R) mode.
FM/AM key
Press the FM/ AM key to alternate between FM(N)
and AM mode.
®TUNING knob (VFO)
Rotate the knob to select the desired frequency.
Fast tuning is possible by rotating the knob rapidly.
The dial drag is adjustable by holding the outside
knob and turning the inside knob clockwise to
increase drag, and counterclockwise to decrease
drag.
