17. S-RF/SWR SWITCH

This is a two-function switch. In the S-RF position, the meter will indicate the strength of the signal being received, as well as the relative RF output of transmission. To use the meter to measure the standing wave ratio, turn the switch to the SWR position. The SWR function is self-calibrating.

18. NB/ANL/OFF SWITCH

In the NB/ANL position, the RF Noise Blanker and the Automatic Noise Limiter in the audio circuits are also activated. The Noise Blanker is very effective in eliminating repetitive impulse noise such as ignition interference.

19. R.B./OFF SWITCH

In the Roger Beep position, the radio transmits an audio tone at the end of your transmission to indicate that transmission has ended. As a courtesy to others, use the Roger Beep only when necessary.

20. +10KHz/OFF SWITCH

When the switch is pressed the frequency is shifted 10KHz up.

21. CHANNEL DISPLAY

The channel display indicates the current selected channel.
