■ Dial click function 9 OTHER FUNCTIONS The IC-R9500 can turn the dial click function ON and OFF. And the auto dial click setting is also available in the others set mode (p. 11-12). ➥ Push and hold [1/4] for 1 sec. to turn the dial click function ON and OFF manually. • "CLICK" appears. [1/4] ■ Antenna selection HF ANT3 1150-3335MHz 30-1150MHz HF ANT2 HF ANT1 IC-R9500 • Antenna selection [ANT] The IC-R9500 has 3 antenna connectors for bands below 30 MHz which are [HF ANT1], [HF ANT2] and [ANT1/HF ANT3]. And antenna control voltage is also output from [ANT SEL] connector for using external preamplifier or antenna selector. For each operating band the IC-R9500 covers, there is a band memory which can memorize a selected antenna. When you change the operating frequency beyond a band, the previously used antenna is automatically selected (see left) for the new band. This function allows automatic switching of 3 separate antennas for HF bands operation. After an antenna has been selected for use (by pushing [ANT]), the antenna is automatically selected whenever that band is used. [EXAMPLE]: a 3.5/7 MHz antenna is connected to [HF ANT1], a 14/18 MHz antenna is connected to [HF ANT2], a 24/28 MHz antenna is connected to [HF ANT3]. After each antenna is selected, an antenna is automatically selected when changing bands. ➥ Push [ANT] to select the antenna from "ANT HF 1," "ANT HF 2" and "ANT HF 3." • The antenna indicator turns ON when other than default antenna (ANT1) is selected. ➥ Push and hold [ANT] for 1 sec to turn the antenna control voltage ON and OFF from [ANT SEL] connector. • When it's ON, "★" appears. Then the receiver output 13.8 V/100 mA max. from [ANT SEL] connector. 9-3
