BASIC RECEIVE FUNCTIONS
■ NB function
The NB (Noise Blanker) function removes pulse-type noise
when USB, LSB, CW or AM mode is selected. Note that the
noise blanker is not effective against natural noise such as
atmospheric static.
Click zNBx to turn the NB (Noise Blanker) function ON or OFF.
• “NB” appears when the NB function is turned ON.
■ AGC function
The AGC (Automatic Gain Control) function controls receiver
gain to produce a constant audio output level even when the
received signal strength varies from fading, etc. A slow-re-
sponse AGC function is selectable for SSB, CW or AM mode.
Click zAGCx (zAGC-Fx)* to toggle the time constant of the
AGC circuit between slow and fast.
• “AGC-F” appears when fast is selected.
*Available only when [Simple] screen is displayed.
