(13) [MIC/SPEED] Knob MIC This knob adjusts the microphone input level for (non- processed) SSB transmission. The display will show the relative microphone gain level for 3 seconds whenever this knob is turned. > ADVICE: Adjust the [MIC/SPEED] knob while speaking in a somewhat louder than normal voice level, whach the ALC level and adjust the [MIC/SPEED] so that the ALC level indication just reaches the right edge of the ALC scale. Then, when you speak in your normal voice level, you will not be over-driving the microphoned amplifier stages. SPEED This knob adjusts the keying speed of the internal CW keyer (4~60 WPM). Clockwise rotation increases the sending speed. The display will show the keying speed for 3 seconds whenever this knob is turned.

(14) [PROC/CAR] Knob PROC This knob adjusts the compression (input) level of the transmitter RF speech processor in the SSB mode. CAR This knob adjusts the RF Power (Carrier) output of the transceiver. For the SSB mode, set the desired maximum RF Power output via Menu item "177 TX MAX POWER" (see page 64). IMPORTANT NOTE: The setting value of Menu item "177 TX MAX POWER"" is applied to all emission modes. For example: When Menu item "177 TX MAX POWER" is set to "50", the maximum RF Power output for all emission modes is "50" even if the [PROC/CAR] knob is set to the fully clockwise position. ADVICE: The RF Power output setting will be shown for 3 seconds in the right in the TFT display whenever the outer [PROC/CAR] knob is turned, except when Menu item "177 TX MAX POWER" is set to 5 watts. In the SSB moce the [PROC] value will be shown instead of the RF Power output.
