OPERATING BASICS SWITCHING POWER ON/OFF 1 Switch the DC power supply ON. 2 Press and hold [ ] (POWER) briefly to switch the transceiver ON. • Do not press the switch for more than approximately 2 seconds; the transceiver will be switched OFF. • Upon power up, "HELLO" appears, followed by the selected frequency and other indicators.

You may turn it counterclockwise slightly when you have trouble hearing the desired signal because of excessive atmospheric noise or interference from other stations. First take note of the peak S-meter reading of the desired signal. Then turn the MAIN RF GAIN control counterclockwise until the S-meter reads the peak value that you noted. Signals that are weaker than this level will be attenuated and reception of the station will become easier.

After switching the transceiver ON, you can switch it OFF or ON using only the power switch of the DC power supply. The transceiver stores the information of the POWER switch position when the DC power source is switched OFF. ADJUSTING VOLUME AUDIO FREQUENCY (AF) GAIN Turn the MAIN AF control clockwise to increase the audio level and counterclockwise to decrease the level.

The audio level for Packet operation is also independent of the MAIN AF control setting. ◆ When the optional RC-2000 is installed, you can control the volume with the AF controls on both the transceiver and the RC-2000. However, when turning the transceiver on, the volume settings of the RC-2000 have priority. Depending on the type and gain of your antenna, and the condition of the band, you may also prefer leaving the MAIN RF GAIN control turned counterclockwise by the same amount rather than turning it fully clockwise. When using FM mode, always set the MAIN RF GAIN control fully clockwise. SELECTING VFO A OR VFO B 2 VFOs are available for controlling the frequency on the main transceiver. Each VFO, VFO A and VFO B, works independently so that a different frequency and mode can be selected. When SPLIT operation is activated, VFO A is used for reception and VFO B is used for transmission. The opposite combination is also possible. Press [A/B] to toggle between VFO A and VFO B. • "tA" or "tB" appears to indicate which VFO is selected.
