■ Attenuator function
The attenuator prevents a desired signal from distorting when
very strong signals are near the desired frequency or when
very strong electric fields, such as from a broadcasting sta-
tion, are near your location. The attenuator gain is about 30
dB.

ON and OFF.
•“ATT” appears when the attenuator function is in use.
■ RF gain
The receiver gain can be reduced with the RF gain setting.
This may help to remove undesired weak signals while mon-
itoring strong signals. The RF gain may be useful for setting a
minimum level at which to hear signals for SSB/CW modes .
