10. MHz / kHz

Indicates whether the frequency displayed is shown in megahertz or kilohertz.

11. MENU

Labels the ‘MENU’ softkey which is used to bring up a series of menus. Repeatedly pressing this key will advance through additional menu pages.

12. AGC

Labels the ‘AGC’ (Automatic Gain Control) softkey and shows its release time status (Slow, Fast, or Auto). Auto mode selects SLOW release time but automatical- ly switches to fast release only while tuning.

13. BW

Labels the Bandwidth softkey and shows its status (2.3, 4.0, or 7.0 kHz).

14. PBT

Labels the ‘PBT’ softkey. The ‘PBT’ softkey enables and disables the ‘PBT’ (Passband Tuning) knob. W hen the softkey is enabled, its frequency displacement relative to nominal is shown above “PBT”. The reading will be

that the ‘TUNING’ knob has been locked out and will have no affect.

19. MEMORY

This labels the ‘MEMORY’ softkey. W hen this softkey is pressed, MEMORY mode is selected and the label appears as “MEMORY”.

20. VFO

This labels the ‘VFO’ softkey. W hen this softkey is pressed, the receiver returns to the VFO mode from COUNTRY or MEMORY modes, but the frequency being received from the MEMORY or COUNTRY modes is not transferred. The frequency displayed will be the same as was last being received when last in VFO mode. The indicator will appear as “VFO” when VFO mode is active.

21. MW / LW

This indicator labels the ‘MW / LW’ select softkey. Pressing this softkey will select either MW (AM Broadcast) or LW (Long Wave) frequency ranges. Repeatedly pressing this softkey will toggle between these two modes. Depending upon the mode selected,

25. TIMER 1 2

This display appears when one or both of the event timers are enabled.

26. TIME DISPLAY

This displays the time, which can be either Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or Local time (L). If the time display is flashing, this is an indication that the time has not been set. See “Clock and Timer Functions” on page 52.

27a. LOW BATT

This flashing reverse video indicator appears when no external AC Adapter is connected, and the battery volt- age is too low for satisfactory operation. If this flashing indicator is seen, the batteries should be replaced.

27b. POWER LOSS

This indicator, which appears in the same location on the display as “LOW BATT”, will be seen when the power is lost. It means that the receiver is operating

from the internal batteries, if so equipped. If the POWER LOSS BEEP is enabled (AUDIO SETTINGS menu, selection 3), there will also be four beeps in rapid succession, once per minute. (Volume controlled).

28. LOCK

This indicator appears when the ‘CLEAR/LOCK’ key has been pressed for 3 seconds. W hen this condition exists, all front panel keys (except for ‘CLEAR/LOCK’) plus the ‘TUNING’ and ‘PBT’ knobs will be ineffective. Pressing ‘CLEAR/LOCK’ again for 3 seconds will enable normal operation, and the “LOCK” indicator will disap- pear.

29. ERROR

This indicator will appear along with an audio beep when an error condition exists, such as pressing one of the softkeys which has no label in the mode selected.

between +2.0 and - 2.0 kHz.

15. AM

Labels the ‘AM’ softkey, and shows its status. The ‘AM’ softkey enables AM mode. When AM is enabled,“AM” appears over the “AM” softkey label. If the softkey is pressed a second time, “AM SYNC” appears over the “AM” label to indicate that the synchronous detector is operating.

16. SSB

This labels the ‘SSB’ softkey and shows its status. Pressing the ‘SSB’ softkey enables single sideband reception, causing either “USB” or “LSB” to appear above the “SSB” label. Pressing the ‘SSB’ softkey again after SSB is selected will toggle the display between “USB” and “LSB”. When AM SYNC has been selected, pressing the ’SSB’ softkey will toggle through the modes of the AM synchronous detector: USB, LSB and DSB.

17. COUNTRY

This labels the ‘COUNTRY’ softkey. When this softkey is pressed, Country mode is selected and the label appears as “COUNTRY”.

18. TUN LOCK

This indicator appears when the ‘FAST / TUNING LOCK’ softkey has been pressed for 2 seconds. It indicates

this indicator will appear either as “MW / LW” or “MW / LW”.

22. SW BAND

This indicator labels the ‘SW BAND’ softkey. Pressing this softkey once selects the SW (Short Wave) band (1.8 - 30.0 MHz). This gives an indication of “SW BAND” on the display. Pressing this softkey a second time causes the display to appear as “SW BAND”, and permits the tuning knob or the ‘< SELECT >’ key to scroll through the available meter bands as shown on the “Shortwave Band Designator” table on page 16. If no movement of the ‘TUNING’ knob or input to the ‘< SELECT >’ key occurs for 3 seconds, the display will revert back to “SW BAND” and normal tuning will resume.

23. AUX

This labels the ‘AUX’ softkey. Pressing this softkey activates the AUX mode and causes the indicator to appear as “AUX“. Selecting this mode enables audio fed in the LINE IN jack on the side panel to be fed through to the E1 receiver’s audio system.

24. FM

Pressing this softkey once selects the FM Broadcast band (76 - 90

MHz or 87 - 108 MHz) and causes the indicator to appear as “FM / AUX“.

SIDE PANEL DESCRIPTION

	1. TELESCOPIC ANTENNA
	The receiver has a built-in telescopic antenna that can
	be used on all bands. Note that the pivot point section
	of the antenna must be exposed out of its nesting tube
	to permit moving the antenna from its vertical orienta-
	tion. Extend the telescopic sections and position the
1	antenna for best signal reception. Be sure the corre-
	sponding side panel antenna select switches are set to
	the ‘INTERNAL’ position for TELESCOPIC antenna
	reception.

3	2. LINE IN
	This 1/8" diameter stereo jack is used to feed in audio
4	from an external source such as a CD or cassette tape
	player. The input level should be approximately 300
5	mV, at an impedance of 47K ohm. This input is enabled
	when the AUX mode is selected. When in this mode,
	the VOLUME, BASS and TREBLE controls are effective.
6	3. LINE OUT
7	This 1/8" diameter stereo jack provides a constant low
8	level audio source that is independent of the front
	panel ‘VOLUME’, ‘TREBLE’ and ‘BASS’ control settings.
9	It is designed to interface to a tape recorder, CW /
	RTTY demodulators, stereo amplifiers, etc.
