(9) Clock
Indicates the current time.

To set the clock:

1. Press and hold the [C.S.] button until the clock digits blink.

2. Enter the present time via the nuber keys ([BAND] keys).

3. Press [ENT] button.

(10) Multi-Function Display
This area usually displays the status of major functions.

Press the [▲ / ▼ /◄ / ►] buttons to select an indicator for the desired function, then press the [SELECT] button to select either of the settings.

ADVICE:

This area also shows the CW/RTTY/DATA texts, SCOPE level meters, memory channels, and menu items.

VOX
This is the ON or OFF indicator for the automatic voice-actuated transmitter switching in the SSB, AM, and FM modes. The controls afftecting VOX operation are the Menu items "181 VOX GAIN", "182 VOX DELAY", and "183 ANTI VOX GAIN".

By proper adjustment of these controls, hands-free voice-actuated operation is possible.

METER:
This indicator determines the function of the meter during transmission.

PO:      Indicates the RF Power Output from 0
            to 150 Watts on transmitt.

ALC:      Indicates the relative ALC voltage.

SWR:      Indicates the Standing Wave Ratio
                (Forward/Reflected).

COMP:      Indicates the Speech compression
                   level (SSB only).

ID:             Indicates the final amplifier drain
                   current.

VOD:      Indicates the final amplifier drain
                voltage.

PROC (Processor)
This indicator enables the Speech Processoer fpr SSB transmission. Adjustement of the Processor level is accom;ished via the [PROC/CAR] knob.

ADVICE:

The Speech Processor is a tool for increasing the average power output through a compression technique. However, if the Processor level is advanced too far, the increase in compression becomes counter-productive, as intelligibility will suffer. We recommend that you monitor the sound of your signal using the Monitor (with headphones).

DNR
This indicator turns the Main band (VFO-A) receiver's Digital Noise Reduction circuit on and off.

Adjustment of the Noise Reduction level is accomplished via the Menu item "110 DNR LEVEL".

MIC EQ
This indicator enables the Three-Band-Parametric Microphone Equalizer. The Equalizer settings are activated via the Menu.

DNF
This indicator turns the Main band (VFO-A) receiver's Digital Notch Filter on and off. This is an automatic circuit, and there is no adjustment knob for the DNF.

KEYER
This indicator toggles the internal CW keyer on and off. The Keyer sending speed is adjusted via the font panel [MIC/SPEED] speed knob and the CW Hang Time is adjusted via the Menu item "064 CW BK-IN DELAY".

ZIN/SPOT
This indicator enables the CW receiver spotting tone. By matching the SPOT tone to that of the incoming CW signal (precisely the same pitch), you will be "zero beating" your transmitted signal with the frequency of the other station.
