Pressing [MENU] at this time temporarily switches the
screen brightness to the condition when the setting value
of “Display” is “5” and allows the information displayed
to be checked.
7 Press [MENU] or [ESC] to end the process.
Adjusting AF Gain
Below are the steps to adjust the volume so that sound can be
heard from the speaker.
Turn the [AF] control.
Turning the control to the right raises the volume, while turning
to the left lowers it.
If no sound is heard or if only a light noise-like sound is heard
even when the [AF] control is turned all the way to the right,
the squelch may be closed. Adjust the squelch level in this
case.
The volume of the beep sound, sidetone and
announcement cannot be adjusted using the [AF]
control.
Adjusting RF Gain
Below are the steps to adjust the gain of the RF amplifier. Under
normal circumstances, turn the [RF] control all the way to the right.
To enhance clarity when there is external noise or interference by
other stations, turn the control slightly to the left to lower the gain
level.
Turn the [RF] control.
Start by checking the peak scale of the S meter, followed by
turning the [RF] control in the anti-clockwise direction
without lowering the peak value of the S meter. Doing so
attenuates signals weaker than this level and eases
reception from the desired station.
Depending on the type of antenna, gain level and band
condition, better effect may sometimes be achieved by
turning the [RF] control slightly to the left rather than all the
way to the right.
In the FM mode, turning the [RF] control does not change
the gain level. Under normal circumstances, turn the
[RF] control all the way to the right.
Adjusting the Squelch Level
Below are steps to adjust the threshold level for squelch, a function
for eliminating noise that is heard when receiving a frequency with
no signal.
Turn the [SQL] control.
Configure the squelch level to the position where noise
disappears. When squelch opens upon receiving a signal, the
[BUSY/TX] LED lights up in green.
The position of the [SQL] control at which noise
disappears varies according to the strength of the noise
and surrounding conditions such as temperature.
The position of the control knob at which noise
disappears also varies depending on whether this
transceiver is in the FM mode or in other modes.
