GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1 This radio is so compact that you can easily
transport, install and operate from either a
portable, mobile or fixed station installation.
2 Setting-up transceiver functions is simple with
the easy-to-use Menu System. The transceiver
delivers dozens of functions required by hams.
3 The Busy-Frequency Stop automatically stops
scan on a busy frequency. Time Operated and
Carrier Operated modes are provided for this
function.
4 The tuning control automatically changes the
frequency step, depending on how fast the control
is rotated. (Achieved by a "fuzzy logic" control
technique).
5 The TF-SET function allows changing the transmit
frequency while still listening to your received
signal.
6 The Automatic Power Off function switches off
the power if the transceiver has not been operated
for approximately three hours.
7 The MC-47 microphone allows assigning four
control functions to the microphone PF
(Programmed Function) keys.
In addition, this transceiver offers many other
transceiver functions, even though it is very compact.
Information:
1
Noise entering from the DC power supply, or static
electricity may disable the buttons or the tuning
control. If this occurs, determine the source of the
interference and take appropriate measures to
reduce or eliminate the offending noise. If the
transceiver still does not function normally, reset
the microprocessor. (For the reset procedure, reter
to page 45.)
Resetting the transceiver will clear the memory
channels and return the menu settings (described
later) to their default values.
This transceiver contains a cooling fan. As the
heat sink temperature rises because of continuous
transmission, the fan speed accelerates to its
maximum speed, and the sound of the fan will
become more noticeable. If the heat sink
temperature becomes excessively high, the
temperature protection circuit will trip to reduce the
transmission output.
For extended transmit periods, or when operating
EM or RTTY, we recommend selecting 50 W or 10
W transmitter output power.
