ANUAL
S/PO Scale
Thirty-one bargraph segments indicate relative re-
ceived signal strength (one S-unit = 6 dB) from S-0 to
S9 +60 dB. On transmit, RF power output from 0 to
400 Watts is displayed.
IC/SWR/ALC/COMP Scale
Indicates final amplifier collector current (IC) from
0 to 30 amps, standing wave ratio (SWR) from 1.0 to
3.0, speech compression from 0 to 30 dB, ALC (auto-
matic level control) operating range, DC supply volt-
age level, or microphone audio input level.
Tuning Scale
This multi-function tuning scale provides a center
tuning segment for zero beating CW stations, and twin
bars (“goal posts”) for accurate tuning of mark and
space tones associated with digital modes, such as
RTTY, Packet, and AMTOR.
MAIN BUSY
This appears whenever the Main receiver squelch
is open (VFO-A).
SUB BUSY
This appears whenever the Sub receiver squelch
is open (VFO-B).
TRANSMIT
This appears when the PTT is keyed and trans-
mission is occurring. If transmission is inhibited for
some reason (for example, attempting to transmit out-
side an amateur band), this indicator will blink.
FAST
Fast VFO tuning rate is active.
DUAL
This indicates that dual-receive operation is acti-
vated.
SPLIT
This indicator appears whenever split-frequency
operation is activated.
LOCK
Front panel tuning knob and/or buttons are locked.
GEN
This appears whenever general coverage tuning
is selected (when tuning outside an amateur band).
PRGM
Appears while tuning within programmed frequency
limits in the PMS (Programmed Memory Scan) mode.
Tuning Offset Scale
Displays sub-resolution tuning steps or Clarifier off-
set in segmented increments.
When the VRF feature is engaged, this scale dis-
plays the peak position for the narrow-band
“preselector” filter.
QMB (Quick Memory Bank)
This indicates that stored memories from the Quick
Memory Bank are active for recall and operation.
VFO
VFO operation is selected.
MEM
This indicator shows that memory operation is se-
lected (by pressing the [VFO/MR] button).
M TUNE
Appears while retuning the frequency of a selected
memory channel.
–/RPT/+
One of these segments lights, along with the “RPT”
indicator, when the “repeater mode” function is acti-
vated in the FM mode, indicating the direction of TX
offset.
Frequency Display
This displays the current operating frequency, and
also provides alphanumeric character display of pro-
gramming menu selections and settings.
