Page 6: Chapter 4 Operation
Chapter 4 Operation Front Panel 1. FREQUENCY SELECTOR: Used to set the desired transmit and receive frequency. The frequency is digitally displayed in the LCD window next to the selector. The FREQUENCY SELECTOR knob allows changing each digit on the frequency display by first placing the frequency display cursor (using SHF button) below the desired digit and then turning the selector knob. - Page 7 5. SQUELCH CONTROL: This control is used to control or eliminate receiver background noise in the absence of an incoming signal. For maximum receiver sensitivity, it is necessary that the control be adjusted only to the point where the receiver background noise is eliminated.
- Page 8 Operation (Continued) be having trouble receiving will know that you have finished transmitting. This feature is sometimes used in weak signal conditions or other special circumstances. We discourage use of this feature in normal operation, as it can be annoying to other operators. 11.
- Page 9 Operation (Continued) 20. LOCK BUTTON (LOCK): Disables the Frequency Selector Control, UP/DOWN buttons on the microphone, and all function buttons on the front panel: NB/ANL, R. BEEP, SPLIT, PRG, MAN, SHF, DIM, SWR, SCAN, MEM, ENT, UP/DOWN buttons. Pressing this switch again will re-enable the Frequency Selector, UP/DOWN buttons on the microphone and all function buttons.

Operation (Continued) Rear Panel 1. ANTENNA: This jack accepts a 50 ohms coaxial cable with a PL-259 style plug. 2. CW KEY: The CW key is used for Morse Code operation. To operate connect a CW key to this jack, and place the mode switch in the CW position. -
Page 11: Microphone
Operation (Continued) Microphone 1. PTT SWITCH: The Push-To-Talk (PTT) switch controls the transmit and receive function of the radio. Push to transmit and release to receive. 2. REMOTE UP/DOWN SWITCH: The digit on the frequency display above the SHF “cursor” can be stepped up or down by pushing either of these buttons. -
Page 12: Frequency Selection
Operation (Continued) Frequency Selection Frequency selection in the RCI-2970N4 can be accomplished using any one of the following three methods: 1. The first method of frequency selection uses the SHF (Shift) key and the ▲ (UP)/ ▼ (DOWN) keys located on the front panel. To... -
Page 13: Mode Selection
To select an operating mode, rotate the MODE selector, and place it in the desired operating mode position. RF Power Control This feature allows the adjustment of the RF output power continuously over the range of 10W through 200W for the RCI-2970N4. - 12 -... -

LCD display. The scan will stop on any active frequency for the duration of the transmission. After the on frequency activity stops, the RCI-2970N4 will resume scanning after about a 2 second pause. To deactivate the Scan mode, press the MAN (manual) button or turn the Squelch control counterclockwise until you hear receiver noise. - Page 15 Programming (Continued) ("MEMORY" and "0" should appear on the left hand side of the LCD display). Pressing the MEM button will increase the memory counter to the next memory location. 4. Press the ENT button. 5. To program other memory channels, press MAN button and repeat step 1 thru 4.

Page 16: Metering
Programming (Continued) Metering The segmented bars on the left-hand side of the LCD display provide the following information: 1. S/RF METER: Provides a relative indication of transmit RF output power while transmitting or signal strength while receiving. 2. SWR METER: This function allows the checking of relative SWR. To use this function, set the unit to AM mode and push the SWR button on the front panel while holding down the PTT switch on the microphone. -
Page 17: Chapter 6 Frequency Scanning
Chapter 6 Frequency Scanning Frequency scanning can be achieved by either of two methods: the first method involves scanning of all frequencies between a pre-set upper and lower scan frequency. The second method permits the scanning of frequencies previously programmed in the memory locations 0 thru F. All-Frequency scanning To allow All-Frequency scanning, the user must first program the upper and lower scan limit frequencies as follows:... -
Page 18: Memory Scanning
Frequency Scanning (Continued) Memory Scanning The RCI-2970N4 has 16 non-volatile memory locations which can be programmed with any frequency within the operating range of the radio. The scan function of the unit can scan the frequencies in the 16 memory locations. -
