7 RF/SQL (SQL/AUTO/RF•SQL)

The [RF/SQL] control can be set as the squelch con- trol (default), the RF/squelch control (USA version default) or automatic (acts as squelch in FM/WFM/AM modes; as RF in SSB/CW/RTTY modes). (See p. 22)

The [RF/SQL] control functions as RF gain control only.

The [RF/SQL] control functions as squelch control only.

8SUBDIAL (Subdial function)

When this item is set to “rit,” pushing [RIT/SUB] turns the RIT function ON (lights red)—rotating [M- CH] changes the RIT frequency; when this item is set to “Freq,” pushing [RIT/SUB] turns the sub dial func- tion ON (lights green)—rotating [M-CH] changes the operating frequency. Note that in FM, WFM and AM modes, pushing [RIT/SUB] always selects the sub dial function (lights green), regardless of this setting.
