MFJ Cub Operation Manual

MFJ cub QRP CW Transceiver Operation Manual

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing the MFJ cub Transceiver. The cub takes
advantage of SMD technology to achieve big-radio performance in a pocket-
sized package. Whether you're taking a 10-minute DX break from the
computer, or backpacking in the mountains, the cub is a great way to put the
magic back into ham radio. Here are a few of the features we think you'll
appreciate:
Hot Receiver: Pulls in weak QRP signals.
Low Noise: Virtually no noise contribution from receiver electronics.
Sharp Passband: Ladder filter and shaped audio reject unwanted QRM and
QRN.
Differential-Mode AGC: Audio output holds steady over 80-dB signal range.
Robust AF Output: 100 mW AF amp drives headphones and speakers with
ease.
Adjustable Transmitter: Power output continuously variable for QRP.
Full QSK: Seamless electronic switching for smooth break-in.
Natural Sidetone: Receiver monitors actual on-air signal.
Shaped Keying: Controlled envelope for click-free keying.
Custom Set-up: Transmit offset and receiver passband both user adjustable.
Low Power Drain: Runs from any lightweight regulated power source.
Truly Portable: Set up anywhere and tuck out of the way when not in use.
Simple to Use: Off/on switch, volume control, and tuning knob--that's it!
Attractive: Rugged aluminum case looks good, and it's built to last.
Ergonomic Layout: Controls conveniently positioned.
