SETTING A FREQUENCY
■ Receive mode selection
■ Lock function
Receive modes are determined by the physical properties of
the radio signals. The receiver has 6 receive modes: SSB
LSB, CW, AM, WFM and FM modes. The mode selection is
stored independently in each memory channels.
To prevent accidental frequency changes and unnecessary
function access, use the lock function.
Typically, AM mode is used for the AM broadcast stations
(0.495–1.620 MHz) and air band (118–135.995 MHz), and
WFM is used for FM broadcast stations (76–107.9 MHz).
• [SET•LOCK] (lock function only), [MONI•T/T•SCAN] (monitor
function only), [PWR], [VOL] and [SQL] can be used while the
channel lock function is in use.
When Automatic mode is selected, IF filter passband width,

BASIC OPERATION
■ Squelch attenuator
■ AFC function
The attenuator prevents a desired signal from distorting when
very strong signals are near the desired frequency or when
very strong electric fields, such as from a broadcasting station, are near your location. The attenuator gain is about 20
dB.
The AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) function tunes the
displayed frequency automatically when an off-center frequency is received. It activates in FM/WFM modes only.
➥ Push [ATT•PRIO] to toggle the attenuator function ON and
OFF.

useful while scanning, the VSC pauses only when modulated
signals are received. Scanning continues when unmodulated
or beat signals are received.

as memory channel.
• The tone scan pauses when a CTCSS tone frequency or 3-digit
DTCS code is detected.
• The decoded CTCSS tone frequency or 3-digit DTCS code is
used for the tone encoder or tone encoder/decoder depending

when the received signal disappears.
• SCT-15/10/5 : Scan pauses for 15/10/5 sec. when the
received signal disappears.
• SCP-2
: Scan pauses on a signal until signal disappears, then resumes 2 sec. after the
signal disappears.

D Squelch delay
D NR setting
Selects squelch delay from short and long to prevent repeated opening and closing of the squelch during reception
of the same signal.
•S
: Short squelch delay.
•L
: Long squelch delay.
Selects NR (Noise Reduction) level from 1 to 15 and OFF.
The NR function enhances desired signals in the presence of
noise by using the DSP circuit. The amount of enhancement
is adjustable.
The NR level can result in audio signal masking. Set the
noise reduction level for maximum readability.
This item appears when optional UT-106 is installed.
D ANF setting
Turns ANF (Automatic Notch Filter) function ON and OFF.
The ANF function automatically attenuates up to 3 beat tones,
tuning signals, etc. even if they are moving. The ANF function can be used in USB, LSB, AM, FM and WFM modes.
This item appears when optional UT-106 is installed.
