3 To switch the transceiver OFF, press [ ]
(POWER) again.
4 Switch the DC power supply OFF.
You may skip step 3. 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

audio level and counterclockwise to decrease the
level.

Note:
The position of the MAIN AF control does not affect the volume
of beeps caused by pressing keys nor the CW transmit sidetone.
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.
RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) GAIN
Set the MAIN RF GAIN control fully clockwise. 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.

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.
