Controls
1. Power Switch. This slide switch turns the RF finder on which also initiates a 2 second self-test.
2. Com Switch. This slide switch selects either the ICOM CI-V receivers or the AOR receivers.
3. Filter Switch. Slide the switch to turn the filter on and off.
4. Hold Button. This holds the current display and stops the RF finder from counting.
5. Function Button. This selects the frequency or period. This button has four settings. One each for displaying
frequency or period as these are received, and two settings for automatic hold and tune of the first frequency or
period found.
6. Calibration. The calibration adjustment opening is located on the front panel of the RF finder. This allows access to
the trimmer capacitor that provides about a 10 PPM adjustment range of the time base oscillator. This is not usually
necessary but to do so read a signal of a known frequency before adjusting the trimmer for correct frequency display.
If you calibrate at 4.1943 MHz or above then the RF finder will be more accurate.
