5.MIC GAIN: This control is used to adjust, as required, microphone input sensitivity for optimum amount of modulation in transmit. UNIDEN CORPO- RATION OF AMERICA citizen's band transceivers have been designed to permit the user to attain levels of modulation up to 100% depending on the setting of the microphone gain control, using the microphone provided with the unit. UNIDEN's automatic compression and peak limiting circuits assure maximum modulation with minimum distortion.

6.RF GAIN: This control is used primarily to optimize reception in strong signal areas. Gain is reduced by counterclockwise rotation of the control.

7.CLARIFIER: The clarifier control is normally set to the center position. This feature has several uses and can greatly enhance receiver operation. First, if a received signal is slightly off frequency, this control can be operated as required to optimize the receiver frequency. The effectiveness of this clarifier features under these conditions can be observed either by listening for a more readable signal at the speaker or by noting the S-meter reading when the clarifier control is operated. Another effective application of this control is in eliminating adjacent channel interference from strong signals. Operate this control, as required, to obtain minimum adjacent channel interference.

8.METER MODE SWITCH:

SIR F Position: Meter indicates relative transmitter output power when transmit- ing, input signal strength when receiving.

MODPosition: Meter indicates averagepercentage of modulation.

9.NB/ANL SWITCH:When the switch is placed in the NB/ANL position, both of RF Noise Blanker and Automatic Noise Limiter circuits are activated. The NB is

very effective for repetitive impulse noise such as ignition noise. The AN L reduces most undesirable interference noises.

10.DIMMER SWITCH: This switch is used to adjust the brightness of the LED channel display and the meter. DI M position reduces brightness.

11.CH9 SWITCH: This switch is for use when emergency communication is needed on the emergency channel, CH9. Pressing the CH9 switch activates CH9 regard- less of the position of the channel selector switch. When CH9 switch is pressed, the channel display is blanked and the CH9 indicator is activated.

12.MOD-S/RF METER: This meter displays relative transmitter RF output power

and percentage of modulation when transmitting, as well as input signal strength when receiving. The meter is illuminated when power is on, the illumination can be adjusted by the DIMMER Switch for optimum brightness.

GRANT specifications

The Uniden GRANT is a notable citizen band (CB) transceiver that has captured the attention of radio enthusiasts and operators alike. Known for its versatility and reliability, this model stands out in the crowded world of CB radios. Ideal for both personal and professional use, the Uniden GRANT offers a plethora of features that cater to various communication needs.

One of the main features of the Uniden GRANT is its powerful 40-channel capability. This allows users to access a wide range of frequencies, providing ample options for communication with others in the CB band. The channel selection is straightforward, facilitated by a user-friendly knob that enables quick navigation through the options.

In addition to its extensive channel range, the GRANT includes several advanced technologies that enhance its performance. The radio is equipped with a built-in squelch function, which filters out background noise and ensures a clearer audio experience. This feature is particularly useful in noisy environments, making conversations more intelligible.

Another key characteristic of the Uniden GRANT is its compact and durable design. It is designed for easy mounting in vehicles, with a sleek appearance that blends well with modern interiors. The robust construction ensures it can withstand the rigors of daily use, whether on long-haul trips or during off-road adventures.

The Uniden GRANT also includes an RF Gain control, allowing users to adjust reception sensitivity based on their surroundings. This flexibility is essential, particularly in areas with varying signal strengths, ensuring optimal communication regardless of location.

Moreover, the radio features a built-in PA system, enabling users to broadcast messages through an external speaker. This feature is particularly beneficial for applications such as directing traffic or communicating with people at a distance without the need for a separate microphone.

In terms of ease of use, the Uniden GRANT offers a bright LCD display that clearly shows the selected channel and other vital information, such as signal strength and battery status. This display is complemented by backlit controls, ensuring visibility in low-light conditions.

In conclusion, the Uniden GRANT is a well-rounded CB transceiver that combines advanced features, robust design, and user-friendly operation. Whether for recreational use or professional applications, its capabilities make it a reliable choice for individuals needing effective communication solutions. With its powerful performance and practical features, the Uniden GRANT continues to be a popular option among radio operators.
