Simple screen 5 [SQL] [SQUELCH] [SQUELCH] 47 5 BASIC OPERATION I Receive mode selection Receive modes are determined by the physical properties of the radio signals. The receiver has 6 receive modes: USB LSB, CW, AM, WFM and FM modes. The mode selection is stored independently in each memory channel. Typically, AM mode is used for the AM broadcast stations (0. 495­1. 620 MHz), air band (118­135. 995 MHz), and shortwave broadcasts. WFM is used for FM broadcast stations (76­107. 9 MHz). When using [AUTO-M] (automatic mode), a receive mode, IF filter passband width, tuning step, etc. , are selected automatically after inputting a frequency. 49) Using Multi-function receiver/Component screen Click [SSB], [CW], [AM], [WFM], [FM] or [AUTO-M] to select the desired receive mode. · Clicking [SSB] toggles between the USB and LSB mode.

The attenuator function can reduce signal strength of interfering signals by approximately 20 dB. This function cannot be used in 1300. 000001 MHz or above. Click [ATT] to turn the ATT (Attenuator) function ON or OFF. · "ATT" appears when the ATT function is turned ON. Multi-function receiver screen I AFC function The AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) function tunes the displayed frequency automatically when an off-center frequency is received.
