BASIC OPERATION
■ Setting a tuning step
■ Receive mode selection
When using the tuning dial to change the frequency, or when
a scan function is activated, the frequency changes in increments determined by the set tuning step. This can be
changed if desired.
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.
The following tuning step are available.
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).

OTHER FUNCTIONS
■ Duplex operation
■ IF filter selection
Duplex communication uses 2 different frequencies for transmitting and receiving. Generally, duplex is used in communication through a repeater, some utility communications, etc.
Increasing or decreasing the width of incoming signals can
help eliminate interference. Available filters vary according to
the receive mode. See the table below.
During duplex operation, the transmit station frequency is
shifted from the receive station frequency by the offset frequency. Repeater information (offset frequency and shift direction) can be programmed into memory channels. (p. ??)
qSet the receive frequency (repeater output frequency).

Strong signals (such as from broadcast stations, pocket beepers, nearby amateur radio stations, etc.) can cause distortion
of receive signals. The attenuator function can reduce signal
strength of interfering signals by approx. 20 dB.
➥ Click [ATT] to turn the ATT (Attenuator) function ON or
OFF.
