G5 OWNER’S MANUAL

5 BASIC RADIO OPERATION continued

For best SSB signal clarity, placing the DX/LOCAL switch in the LOCAL position may be desirable.

SSB NOTE: If you’re new to SSB, see the SSB chart in the LISTENING TO SHORTWAVE section, later in this manual.

SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR (37)

The signal strength indicator (37) shows relative strength of AM and SW signals. When signal strengths are somewhat weak, it is normal for the indicator’s level to fluctuate. The indicator is not functional with FM signals.

6 CLOCK AND ALARM FEATURES

NOTE: Turn off the G5 to set clock and alarm functions. Setting clock and alarm features require that you work fast between steps. If you don’t, the set mode will automatically exit. If this occurs, start over. Carefully read through the procedure first.
