(5) Setting the receiver GAIN (GAIN)
Using this function, you can set up the automatic and manual gain level. As widely accepted conven-
tion, the receiver gain should be set to the level that the noise speckles is slightly shown on the screen.
There are two modes of setting for AUTO and MANUAL, to each mode you can independently set the
GAIN level. Use the following procedure to set up.
In MANUAL mode, you can preset the MANUAL GAIN to current MANUAL gain level as standard.
When you enter "G60" as gain level, for instance, "G60" will be preset as standard MANUAL level.
