1.12 Receiving You can select a receiving frequency by one of the following methods: - Direct frequency entry, or - Channel number entry Adjusting RF gain In normal use the [RF GAIN] control should be set for maximum. If the audio on the received channel is unclear or interfered with other signals, adjust (usually reduce) the control to improve clarity. Clarifier adjustment If reception is unclear, try to clarify the signal as follows.
Receiving AM broadcasting stations 1. Press the [MODE/1] key repeatedly to select H3E. 2. To tune in a 15,260 kHz shortwave station, for instance, press as below: [RX], [1], [5], [2], [6], [0], [0], [ENT]. Be sure to enter the last zero. Squelch control Squelch is used to mute the receiver audio output when the receiver input is less than a preset value or dominant noise is higher than a preset (1000 Hz) frequency. To switch the squelch function ON, press the [SQL/5] key.
1.13 Frequency Scan Channel scan Scan is the function where the receiver watches 10/group user or ITU channels in succession at predetermined intervals. The scan-stop signal level and scan-stop time can be changed on system codes 9951 and 9952, respectively. AGC is automatically turned on when scanning is activated. 1. Recall user or ITU channel. User channels User channels are divided into 20 groups in the scan mode as below. Scan Group 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 User Channel No.
ITU channels To select the scan group (band or channel, including user channels), shift the cursor to either the position of the band or channel number by pressing the [CURS/2] key. (Band scan is useful to watch frequencies on the same channel in different bands.) 2. Press the [SCAN/6] key, and “SCAN” appears. The receiver starts scanning, stopping at a channel where the signal is stronger than the scan-stop level.
1.14 Frequency Sweep Sweep is the function where the receiver searches for a signal within a selected frequency coverage. AGC is automatically turned on in frequency sweep. The defaults of respective parameters are as follows: Sweep stop signal level: Sweep stop time: Sweep width: Step frequency: 3 2 sec 100 kHz 1 kHz These can be adjusted on system codes 9951 through 9954. Note: Sweep width is the frequency width to sweep on both sides of the selected frequency.
