qAF GAIN CONTROL [AF(SET)] (inner control; p. 33)

➥Rotate to vary the audio output level from the speaker or headphones.

Audio output increases

Audio outut decreases

Push momentarily to enter the set mode menu.

•Push again to exit the set mode menu.

➥Push and hold for 1 sec. to toggle between the frequency display mode or TV mode.

wRF GAIN CONTROL/SQUELCH CONTROL [RF/SQL] (outer control; p. 35)

Adjusts the RF gain and squelch threshold level. The squelch, when closed, mutes the speaker or headphones when no signal is received, reducing noise.

•The squelch is particularly effective for FM and WFM modes. It is also available in other modes.

•12 to 1 o’clock position is recommended for any setting of the [RF/SQL] control.

•The control can be set to ‘Auto’ (RF gain control in SSB, CW and RTTY; squelch control in AM, FM and WFM) or squelch control (RF gain is fixed at maximum) in the mis- cellaneous (others) set mode as follows. (p. 131)

ePOWER KEY [PWR] (p. 25)

➥While transceiver’s power is OFF, push to turn the power ON.

•Turn the DC power supply ON in advance.

➥While transceiver’s power is ON, push and hold for 1 sec. to turn the power OFF.

rFRONT PANEL LATCH (p. 16)

Pull away from the transceiver (towards yourself when looking at the front of the transceiver) to de- tach the front panel from the main body of the trans- ceiver.

tPASSBAND TUNING/M-ch/RIT CONTROLS [PBT/M-ch/RIT]

➥Push inner control to toggle the twin Passband Tuning (PBT) or memory channel/RIT function ON and OFF.

➥While Twin PBT is selected (p. 79):

●Adjusts the receiver’s DSP filter passband width.

•Passband width and shift frequency are displayed on the LCD.

•The default variable range is half of the IF filter passband width. 25 Hz step is available.

●Push and hold inner control for 1 sec. to return the PBT to default settings.
