Push to return to the previous screen display. !4 N OISE REDUCTION LEVEL CONTROL [NR] (inner control; p. 77) Rotate to adjust the DSP noise reduction level when the noise reduction function is in use. Set for maximum readability. • To use this control, first push [NR] (!5). Increases !8 S UB BAND AF CONTROL [AF] (inner control; p. 45) Rotate to adjust audio output level to the speaker or headphones on the SUB Band. !9 MIC GAIN CONTROL [MIC GAIN] (p. 46) Rotate to adjust the microphone gain. • The transmit audio tone in the SSB, AM and FM modes can be independently adjusted in the tone control Set mode. (p. 169) ✔ How to set the microphone gain. Set the meter function to ALC. (p. 45) While speaking at normal voice level, adjust the [MIC GAIN] control so that in the SSB or AM modes, the ALC meter swings within the ALC range.
