Squelch Control; Tuning In Stations - Eton ELITE 750 Owner's Manual

SSB (SINGLE SIDE BAND) TUNING
SSB enables listening to shortwave two way communications using the
single sideband mode such as amateur radio, Morse code, weather-
fax transmissions and other signals often referred to as 'utility' signals.
The Internet and your local library are great resources to learn more.
Type 'amateur radio frequencies' or 'sideband' into an Internet search
engine.
To use the SSB control, turn on the ELITE 750 and go into Short-
wave. Press the SSB button and notice that USB appears in the
display, to the right of SW. Press the SSB button again and notice
that LSB appears to the right of SW. USB is the abbreviation for
Upper Sideband, LSB is the abbreviation for Lower Sideband. You
will need to use one of these methods to tune in signals. Also notice
that on the lower right front of the radio is a control knob labeled SSB
BFO. BFO stands for Beat Frequency Oscillator. This control knob is
used to fine tune a sideband signal.
ANTENNA ATTENUATOR (ANT.ATT) BUTTON
The ANT.ATT button, located on the upper right front of the radio, is
used to attenuate a signal. Tune into a station, then press the ANT.
ATT button and notice that the signal strength indicator, located on
the left side of the display, changes at three levels. The maximum
level is the highest gain and the lowest level is minimum gain. Use
the lowest level if the signal is extremely strong and local. Use the
intermediate level for average signals and use the highest level for
weak signals. Experiment with this control to see how it works best
with the signals you listen to and use it to your liking.

RF GAIN CONTROL
ELITE 750
OWNER'S MANUAL
RF GAIN CONTROL continued
On the right front of the radio is the RF Gain control knob. You can
leave it fully counterclockwise in the AUTO position, where it will
function automatically, or you can turn it clockwise and use it manu-
ally to control the RF (radio frequency) gain. Using it manually may
improve the radio's rejection of interference from adjacent frequen-
cies that may interfere, especially on Shortwave. This switch does
not work in FM.

SQUELCH CONTROL

Using the squelch control eliminates background noise. This control
is used mainly in the aircraft band. This control is on the lower right
front of the radio. To engage it, turn it on by turning the knob clock-
wise. Turn it off by clicking the knob fully counterclockwise.

TUNING IN STATIONS

Stations are tuned using Direct Frequency Entry, the
the Tuning Knob, as described below.
DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY TUNING
Use this method when the desired frequency of a radio station is known.
Turn on the ELITE 750 and select the band of your choice. AM and SW
frequencies are entered in kilohertz (KHz), e.g. 810 KHz or 9475 KHz.;
FM frequencies are entered in megahertz (MHz), e.g. 102.9 MHz, ignor-
ing the decimal point. Use the numeric keypad to enter the frequency.
