OFF/ON/Volume Knob-Turn clockwise to turn power on and set the desired listening volume.

Squelch Knob- This control is used to cut off or eliminate receiver background noise in the absence

of an incoming signal. For maximum receiver sensitivity it is desired that the control be adjusted only to the point where the receiver background noise or background noise is eliminated. Adjust until the receiver noise disappears. This will require the incoming signal to be slightly stronger than the aver- age receiver noise. Further clockwise rotation will increase the threshold level which a signal must overcome in order to be heard. Only strong signals will be heard at a maximum clockwise setting.

X-TRA TALK Knob- Adjusts the microphone gain in the transmit and PA modes. This controls the gain to the extent that full talk power is available several inches away from the microphone. In the Public Address (PA) mode, the control functions as the volume control.

RF Gain Knob- Adjust as required to optimize signal. This control is used primarily to optimize reception in strong signal areas. Gain is reduced by counter clockwise rotation of the control.

Channel Selector Knob- This knob selects any one of the 40 Citizen Band channels. The selected channel is indicated by the LED readout, directly above the Channel Selector Knob.
