FUNCTIONS FOR RECEIVE
5-2 Preamp and attenuator
[P.AMP/ATT]
5-3 RIT function
RIT (receiver incremental tuning) shifts the receive fre-
quency up to ±9.99 kHz in 10 Hz steps without shifting
the transmit frequency.This is useful for ne tuning sta-
tions which call you on an off-frequency or when you
prefer to listen to slightly different sounding voice char-
acteristics, etc.
Push [RIT] to turn the RIT function ON and OFF.
RIT and the RIT frequency appear in the function display
when the function is ON.
Rotate [RIT/:TX] to set a receive frequency shift.
Push [CLEAR] for 2 sec. to set the RIT shift to zero.
Push [RIT] for 2 sec. to add the shift frequency to the op-
erating frequency.

RIT indications
The preamp amplies received signals in the front end
circuit to improve the S/N ratio and sensitivity. Set this
to preamp 1 or preamp 2 when receiving weak signals.
The attenuator prevents a desired signal from distort-
ing when very strong signals are near the desired fre-
quency or when very strong electric fields, such as
from a broadcasting station, are near your location.
These can both be set independently for each band.
Push [P.AMP/ATT] momentarily one or more times
to set the preamp OFF, set preamp 1 ON or set pre-
amp2 ON.
When the preamp is ON, either preamp 1 or preamp2
appears in the function display.
When operating on the 144 MHz band, the preamp can
only be set to ON or OFFthere is no preamp1 and pre-
amp2.
Preamp1 activates the 10 dB preamp for the 1.8 to 54
MHz range; preamp2 activates the 16 dB high-gain pre-
amp for the 21 to 60 MHz range; preamp activates the
VHF preamp for the 144 to 146 MHz range (108 to 174
for the USA version).
Push [P.AMP/ATT] for 2 sec. once or twice to set the
attenuator ON or OFF.
•“ATT appears in the display when the function is set ON.
RIT MONITOR FUNCTION
When the RIT function is ON, pushing and holding
[XFC] allows you to monitor the operating frequency
directly (RIT is temporarily cancelled).
