adjacent frequency interference. The HI / LO
CUT control changes its function between HI
CUT and LO CUT when the operator briefly
pushes the knob toward the panel. LED
indicators show which function the knob is
performing at any time. The independent HI
CUT and LO CUT settings each receiver

and PBT values scroll as the knob is turned.
Pushing and holding in the HI CUT / LO
CUT knob for two seconds will zero out the
CUT setting.
