FRONT PANEL CONTROLS, SWITCHES
VOL - SQL (“main” band) Controls
The inner VOL control adjusts the speaker audio level from the “main” band receiver
(default: VHF is the upper band on the display). Clockwise rotation increases the audio
level.
The outer SQL control is used to silence background noise on the “main” band receiver.
It should advanced clockwise just to the point where the noise silenced (and the green
“main” BUSY/TX Indicator turns off), so as to provide the best sensitivity to weak
signals.
VOL - SQL (“sub” band) Controls
The inner VOL control adjusts the speaker audio level from the “sub” band receiver
(default: UHF is the lower band on the display). Clockwise rotation increases the audio
level.
The outer SQL control is used to silence background noise on the “sub” band receiver.
It should advanced clockwise just to the point where the noise silenced (and the green
“sub” BUSY Indicator turns off), so as to provide the best sensitivity to weak signals.

This dual-color LED glows Green when a signal is being received on the “main” band
channel. This LED glows Red when you are transmitting.
BUSY Indicator (“sub” band)
This LED glows Green when a signal is being received on the “sub” band channel.
