Mon: The variable Mon control (talk back) is used to monitor your own
21
voice.This can be used to compare different microphones. To increase
the volume of the talk back rotate the control clockwise. To decrease
rotate counterclockwise. To turn off the talk back rotate the control
completely counterclockwise.
Transmit Power or PWR - This variable control allows you to adjust
31
your power output.
Mode Switch: This switch allows you to operate in AM, FM, USB, LSB
41
or PA mode. The PA feature allows the radio operator to use their radio
as a public address system.
Dimmer Switch: This switch controls the brightness for the front
51
panel. To adjust the brightness move this switch to the left "DIM"
setting and then rotate the channel selector clockwise for more light or
counter-clockwise for less.
HIC: This is the Hi-Cit Filter, once this function is enabled, the radio
61
will cut out high frequency interference. Use is dependent on reception
conditions.
RB: This switch controls the "roger beep" circuitry. Simply put the
71
roger beep is a tone that sounds when a radio operator un-keys their
microphone. When the switch is on the RB position the roger beep is
turned on. When moved the switch is moved to the middle position it is
switched off.
PRG: This switch allows you to select which roger beep is will be
81
activated when the RB switch is on. It also allows you select if you'd
like the auto squelch activated and lets you add specific channels to
scanned when the scan feature is activated. See section "PRG Menu"
for more details on this function.
TSQ- This switch is used to activate the optional CTCSS module. This
91
module is sold separately.
CLA: Indicates what mode the clarifier is in. R would indicate receive
111
only, R & T indicates it will function on both transmit and receive and
T means only on transmit.
Channel Display: The channel display indicates the currently
111
selected channel.
Echo: The Echo switch turn the echo on. A big advantage to this is
121
you can turn it off and then back on with the switch without the need
to adjust your volume & delay potentiometer. To turn the echo off
simply move the switch to the middle position.
Color: Pressing this button changes the color of the front panel and
131
display. Each time it's pressed it will change to a new color. Pressing
this button allows you to select the color loop mode where the radio
will automatically cycle through all of the colors.
Scan: Pressing this button enables the radio to scan through all
141
channels until it finds one that has a strong enough signal to break
through the squelch threshold.
Band: Move this switch all the way to the left and a band will be
151
displayed on the LCD meter. To change bands rotate the channel
selector until you reach the desired band, then move this switch back
to the center position.
Microphone Input:
The Stryker SR955 accepts microphones with a
161
female 4 pin connector. For further wiring information please see the
next page of this manual.
VFO: The VFO switch allows you to move through the radios entire
171
frequency range without changing bands. To use VFO mode move
this switch to all the way to the right position.
On/Off Volume Control: Turn clockwise to apply power to the unit
181
and to set the desired listening level. During normal operation, the
VOLUME control is used to adjust the output level obtained either at
the transceiver speaker or the external speaker, if used.
Squelch: This control is used to cut off or eliminate receiver
191
background noise in the absence of an incoming signal. For maximum
receiver sensitivity it is desired that the control be adjusted only to the
point where the receiver background noise or ambient backgrounds
noise is eliminated. Turn fully counterclockwise then slowly clockwise
until the receiver noise disappears. Any signal to be received must
now be slightly stronger than the average received noise.
