33.3 SLICE RECEIVER AUDIO KNOBS
The Maestro front panel provides two sets of knobs for managing the audio levels of Slice Receivers.
These multi-function knobs control audio level, AGC threshold and solo channel operation.
The inner knob controls the audio level of the associated Slice Receiver. This signal is produced either
at the Maestro front panel speaker, or in headphones plugged into the back-panel jack. When
headphones are plugged in, the speaker is muted. Note that audio from both of the Slice Receivers
can be mixed into the speaker or headphones.
When operating on battery power, the audio level is limited to a lower level than when operating on
external power. This is done to increase battery life.
The outer knob controls the AGC-Threshold in SSB, digital and AM modes and squelch level in FM
modes. See section 12.1, AGC Threshold for full details.
Pressing the inner knob activates the solo channel/mute feature. When two Slice Receivers are
active, a short press of the knob mutes the opposite Slice Receiver. Another short press returns
Maestro to two channel audio operation. A longer press of the knob mutes the Slice Receiver.
Changing the audio level unmutes the Slice Receiver.
