CH receive mode, allowing the Operator to check whether
the other Station is transmitting.
3 ON AIR Indicator
This indicator will light during transmission.

This indicator lights when the TX OFFSET switch is set to
the D
-
A or D
-
B Position for repeater Operation.
5 Meter
This meter has four functions,
each
being selected by using
the meter select switch.
RFIS:
The meter serves as “S” meter indicating the
strength of received
Signal
on a scale graduated
from 1 to 10 (FM), or 1 to 9,
9+20
dB and
9+40
dB (SSB
CW).

During transmission, the meter indicates RF
output.
ALC/CEN: In FM receive mode (MODE switch in FM, FM-
CH position), the meter functions as a Center
meter. Turn the VFO knob to your desired
receive
Signal
until the meter pointer is
centered.
In other operating mode (SSB,
CW),
the meter
indicates the transmitter ALC voltage. In SSB
Operation, adjust the MIC gain control so that
the meter pointer deflects within the ALC zone
on the scale. In CW Operation,
adjust
the CAR.
L knob.
6 TX-OFFSET Switch
This switch is used to shift the TX frequency from the RX
frequency for repeater Operation. After the repeater opera-
tion, it should be set to the SIMP Position; the TX frequen-
cy will coincide with the RX frequency. In case of Off-band,
the frequency is not shifted and the transceiver is set in
simplex mode.
