!8 MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCHES
Push to select the functions indicated in the LCD
display to the right of these switches.
- Functions vary depending on the operating condition.
Push to input a character for memory keyer pro-
gramming or memory name. (pgs. 36, 45)
Toggles the antenna connector selection
between ANT1/R and ANT2/R when
pushed. (p. 37)
Toggles the receive antenna ON and OFF
when pushed for 2 sec.
Selects RF power (Po), SWR or ALC me-
tering during transmit. (p. 34)
Selects one of 2 receive RF preamps or
bypasses them.
- P.AMP1 activates 10 dB preamp for HF all
bands.
- P.AMP2 activates 16 dB high-gain preamp
for 21 MHz band and above.
What is the preamp?
The preamp amplies received signals in the front end cir-
cuit to improve the S/N ratio and sensitivity. Select
P.AMP1 or P.AMP2 when receiving weak signals.
Selects 6 dB, 12 dB or 18 dB attenuator,
or bypasses them.
What is the attenuator?
The attenuator prevents a desired signal from distorting
when very strong signals are near the desired frequency
or when very strong electric elds, such as from a broad-
casting station, are near your location.
Activates or selects fast, middle or slow
AGC time constant when pushed.
- The setting becomes fast in FM mode re-
gardless of this setting.
Deactivates the AGC circuit when pushed
for 2 sec.
NOTE: While AGC OFF is selected, the
S-meter does not function.
What is the AGC?
The AGC controls receiver gain to produce a constant
audio output level even when the received signal strength
is varied by fading, etc. Select FAST for tuning and se-
lect MID or SLOW depending on the receiving condi-
tion.
Turns the VOX function ON and OFF when
pushed in non-CW modes. (p. 33)
Enters the VOX set mode when pushed for
2 sec. in non-CW modes. (p. 33)
Selects semi break-in, full break-in opera-
tion, or turns the break-in operation OFF
when pushed in CW mode.
What is the VOX function?
The VOX function (voice operated transmission) starts
transmission without pushing the transmit switch or PTT
switch when you speak into the microphone; then, auto-
matically returns to receive when you stop speaking.
What is the break-in function?
The break-in function toggles transmit and receive with
CW keying. Full break-in (QSK) can monitor the receive
signal during keying.
