SELECTING A MODE
Press [LSB/ USB/ AUTO], [CW/ FSK/ REV], or
[FM/ AM/ NAR]. To select the second mode on each
key, press the same key again. For example, each
press of [LSB/ USB/ AUTO] toggles between LSB
and USB mode.

Press [FUNC], [LSB/ USB/ AUTO] to toggle the
Auto Mode selection. When it is active, “AUTO”
appears. If you change the frequency above or
below 9.5 MHz, the transceiver automatically
switches modes; LSB for frequencies under 9.5 MHz
and USB for frequencies equal to or above 9.5 MHz
(HF/ 50 MHz band). As for the 144 MHz,
430/ 440 MHz, and 1.2 GHz bands, the transceiver
automatically changes the operating mode to FM.
You can further add the frequency table data to
change the mode automatically
{page 73}.
ADJUSTING SQUELCH
The purpose of the Squelch is to mute the speaker
when no signals are present. With the squelch level
correctly set, you will hear sound only while actually
receiving signals. The higher the selected squelch
level, the stronger the signals must be to receive.
The appropriate squelch level depends on the
ambient RF noise conditions.
Turn the MAIN SQL control, when there are no
signals present, to select the squelch level at which
the background noise is just eliminated; the MAIN
band LED will turn off. Many ham operators prefer
leaving the MAIN SQL control fully counterclockwise
unless operating on a full-carrier mode such as FM.
The squelch level for the main transceiver is preset
at the factory to approximately 9 o’clock for FM and
11 o’clock for SSB and AM.

You may prefer directly entering a frequency using
the numeric keypad if the desired frequency is far
from the current frequency. Press [ENT], then press
the numeric keys as necessary. For details, see
“Direct Frequency Entry” {page 37}.

This transceiver provides many other methods for
quickly selecting a frequency. For further information,
see “SELECTING YOUR FREQUENCY” {page 37}.
FRONT PANEL METER
The multi-function meter measures the parameters in
the table below. The S-meter and FILTER scales
appear when the main transceiver is in receive mode,
and the PWR meter appears when it is in transmit
mode. Each press of [5/ METER] switches among
the ALC, SWR, and COMP meters. Peak readings
for the S-meter, ALC, SWR, COMP, and PWR
functions are held momentarily.

Note:
◆
The COMP meter functions only when the Speech Processor is
ON for SSB, FM, or AM mode.
◆
The PWR indicator shows the output power level as a
percentage on the 1.2 GHz band.
◆
The SWR meter works only for ANT 1 and ANT 2 (HF/ 50 MHz
band).
◆
Peak Hold readings cannot be deactivated.
