DISPLAY

BRIGHTNESS

The brightness of the LCD display can be selected from OFF, and 1 to 4 by accessing Menu No. 00.

1Press [MENU/ F.LOCK], then turn the MULTI control to access Menu No. 00.

2Press []/ [] to select ÒoFFÓ, Ò1Ó, Ò2Ó, Ò3Ó, or Ò4Ó.

3Press [MENU/ F.LOCK] to store the setting and exit Menu mode.

KEY ILLUMINATION

The Remote Control panel key illumination can be switched ON or OFF.

1Press [MENU/ F.LOCK], then turn the MULTI control to access Menu No. 01.

2Press []/ [] to select ÒoFFÓ or ÒonÓ.

3Press [MENU/ F.LOCK] to store the setting and exit Menu mode.

LINEAR AMPLIFIER CONTROL

When you connect an external HF or 50 MHz linear amplifier to the transceiver using the REMOTE connector, select Ò1Ó, Ò2Ó, or Ò3Ó to activate the internal relay and/ or DC output (12 V) so you can interface with the HF/ 50 MHz linear amplifier {page 80}. The DC output (12 V) works without any annoying chattering sounds (Ò1Ó) but the output current is limited to 10 mA. If your linear amplifier control circuit draws more than DC 12 V/ 10 mA, use the relay switching (Ò2Ó or Ò3Ó) instead.

Also, some linear amplifiers require a long transmission delay time because of the slow antenna relay switching time. In this case, select Ò3Ó for the slow switching (25 ms delay).

1Press [MENU/ F.LOCK], then turn the MULTI control to select Menu No. 28 (HF) or

29 (50 MHz).

2Press []/ [] to select ÒoFFÓ, Ò1Ó, Ò2Ó, or Ò3Ó.
