Along the horizontal top edge of the front panel there are 4 buttons. The left had 2 buttons are
Mode up and Mode down. Repeatedly pressing either of these buttons steps through the modes
available: AM, LSB, USB, CW, CWR, and NBFM (if this option is fitted) in the desired direction.
The next 2 buttons are frequency band UP and frequency band DOWN. Repeatedly pressing
either button steps the transceiver through the available bands: 1.8Mhz, 3.5Mhz, 5.2Mhz, 7Mhz,
10Mhz, 14Mhz, 18Mhz, 21Mhz, 24Mhz, and 28Mhz in the desired direction.
Located below the LCD display is a horizontal grouping of 5 buttons. These are also dual
function buttons. The most left hand button is preamp and attenuator. Pressing this button
steps through preamp ON, attenuator ON, and neither activated.
The second button from the left is the CMP button. Pressing this button toggles the compressor
ON or OFF. The second function of this button is the digital filter low frequency setting. First
press the Function button (left hand button of the group to the right of the top of the display),
then press the CMP button to set the lower frequency of the digital filter.
The third button is the NB button press this button once and use the Tuning control to toggle
between ON and OFF. Press the NB button twice to select the NB level and use the Tuning
control to adjust (range is 0 to 10). Press the NB button three times to select the NB (blanking

The forth button is the AGC button. Press this button to step through S (slow AGC), F (fast

receiver, so don’t panic. Press the AGC button for 1 second to access the RF gain control and
use the Tuning control to change the value 90-100%).
The fifth button is the VFO/Memory function (toggles between the 2). There is no second
function for this button. This allows the user to toggle between the VFO and a frequency
previously stored in memory.
Of the 3 buttons located immediately adjacent to the display, (the first button is the FUNC
button already discussed) the second button from the left is the MW/MC button (memory write
and memory clear functions). There are 63 memory positions available. Pressing the button
activates the memory write function. Ensure memory position 0 is used first. Select a desired
frequency to be entered into memory. Press the MW/MC button, rotate the tuning dial to select
the memory position, then press the MW/MC button again to store.
The third button is the VFO A/B control. Pressing this button, toggles between VFO A and B.
Pressing the function button first allows the user to copy the contents of VFO A into VFO B.
