OPERATING PROCEDURE

TO RECEIVE:

The G RANT operates on 40 AM channels, 40 Upper Side Band channels and 40 Lower Side Band channels.

When you receive the SSB signal in the proper mode (USB or LSB), audio sound may be either too high pitched or Iow pitched, indicating that your receiver may not be tuned to the exact same frequency as the transmitter to which it is listening. The G RANT is equipped with a Clarifier. By tuning the Clarifier, you can slightly change the frequency of the receiver so you get a normal tone.

1.Place the PA switch in CB function - by turning SQUELCH control clockwise, past click.

2.Turn the set on by turning the VOLUME CONTROL clockwise, past click. NOTE: Microphone must be plugged in for receiver to operate.

3.Set the VOLUME CONTROL to a comfortable level.

4.Set the Mode Selector Switch to the desired mode.

5.Listen to the background noise from the speaker. Turn the SQUELCH CONTROL slowly clockwise, until the noise just disappears. The Squelch is now properly adjusted. The receiver will remain quiet until a signal is received. Do not advance the control too far, or some of the weaker signals will not be heard.

6.Set the Channel Selector to the desired channel.

7.Adjust the CLARIFIER to clearly receive SSB or AM signals.

TO TRANSMIT:

CAUTION

The transceiver Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (V.S.W.R.) measurement must be performed prior to the use of the transmitter. A.V.S.W.R. ratio in excess of 2:1 may damage the transmitter.

1.Be sure the operator has read and understands part 95, F .C.C. Rules and Regula- tions prior to operating the transmitter.

2.Select the desired channel.

3.If the channel is clear, depress the push-to-talk switch on the microphone and speak in a normal voice.
