Channel Indicator
(9 REPEATER KNOB
Operation').
@ DRIVE KNOB
This knob adjusts the electronic tuning circuit for tuning the
output of the HET mixer during transmission.
@) FIX CH SWITCH
@ BAND SWITCH
@ BAND INDICATOR
Indicates the frequency band of 144 MHz, 145 MHz, 146
MHz or 147 MHz at which the transceiver is operated.
@ AF GAIN KNOB (INNER)
This adjusts the gain of the receiving audio amplifier. A
clockwise turn of the knob will increase the audio output.
@ RF GAIN KNOB (OUTER)
For adjusting the gain of the RF amplifier in the receiver
section. With this control turned to extreme clockwise
position, the gain is maximized,
and vice versa. The "S"
meter indicates the gain set by this control.
If the pointer of
the "S" Meter is at 9", then radio waves of lower than "9"
level
will be attenuated.
This feature
emphasizes
the
wanted signal
and suppresses
the unwanted
signal to
produce a clear output. The RF gain can be directly read on
the "S" meter.

@ FINAL KNOB
The antenna side BPF is tuned by this knob. It provides a
very effective control in minimizing the spurious component
during transmission and avoiding undesirable modulation
due to interfering signals during reception.
@ RIT KNOB
This knob is used to fine adjust the receiving frequency when
the RIT circuit is ON.
It adjusts the receive frequency without changing the
transmit frequency. Here's how to use this control: index
the pointer of this control to RIT "O" on the panel face. This
will introduce coincidence between transmit frequency and
receive frequency. Check the frequency of the other party-
if the checked frequency is deviated from yours, shift the
receive frequency (without regard to transmit frequency) by
about +2 kHz to match it to that of the other party. The RIT
circuit is operative even when VFO or any of the fixed oscil-
lator channels is in service.
@8) SQUELCH CAL Knob
Turning this knob clockwise during FM mode of operation
will set SQUELCH to ON. This knob is normally turned
clockwise so that the internally induced noise can be elimi-
nated. When the knob is turned fully counter-clockwise du-
ring reception, the CAL switch is activated to energize the
marker oscillator, allowing calibration of the receive
frequency at 100 kHz intervals.
Note: The transceiver stops operating when the CAL
switch is ON.
