$1NB button

Press to switch the analog Noise Blanker function ON or OFF. This function works best against short duration pulse noise {page 53}.

$2AF gain control

Adjusts the audio frequency gain. Turn the control clockwise to increase the gain; counterclockwise to decrease the gain {page 19}.

$3RF gain control

Adjusts the radio frequency gain. Turn the control clockwise to increase the gain; counterclockwise to decrease the gain {page 19}.

$4RIT/XIT control

After switching ON the RIT or XIT function, turn to select the desired frequency offset with respect to the current frequency {pages 44, 45}.

$5NB control

When using the Noise Blanker function, turn to adjust the noise blanking level {page 53}. To prevent distorting your receive signal, use the minimum blanking level necessary.

$6SQL control

The Squelch control can be used for muting the receiver during no signal periods. The more clockwise that the control is turned, the higher the noise threshold level. Therefore, the stronger the received signal must be to open the squelch. Leave fully counterclockwise for weak signal reception {page 19}.

$7M.CH/VFO.CH control

In VFO mode, turn to step the frequency up or down {page 21}. In memory channel mode, turn to select the desired memory channel {page 55}. The control is also used for selecting boundaries for the Automatic Mode function {page 48} and for selecting Menu numbers when accessing the Menu {page 24}.
