Lightning

Any person is not safe outdoor during thunderstorm and lightning. This condition is getting worse if somebody keeps a hand-held radio; chances of being hit by lightning are doubled since lightning may hit a radio antenna as well. At this time, there is no hand-held radio having any kind of protection against lightning current (which is higher than 10 kA.). Note also that no car provides adequate protection of its passengers or drivers against lightning as well. Therefore, Alinco will not take responsibility for any danger associated with using its hand-held radios outdoor or inside the car during lightning.

receives it, if such signal may exist.

Built-in bar-antenna receives AM radio , eliminating the need to attach an

external antenna.

Earphone cord can be used as an antenna to receive FM broadcast and

other stronger signals without using an external antenna.

Automatic input switching. By connecting the optional remote controller to

the earphone jack and connecting an MP3 player or other portable audio device to the controller, you can listen to music under normal conditions and hear receiver messages when the DJ-X11 receives any signals.

Bug Detector function in two modes. This function notifies you of the

possible presence of a bugging device (wireless microphone) with a display, an alarm and a voice announcement.

Clone function for copying settings and various data between the receiver

units. It is also possible to connect the receiver to a personal computer to edit settings and data.

Tone Squelch and DCS, cut off shrill and rattling noises so that only the

target sound can be heard.

Scan speed is selectable from 3 levels. Select a fast scan speed to detect

strong signals, and select a slower scan speed to detect weak signals.

Voice Guidance function which announces the result of key operations or

the Bug Detector function in English.

turn the power ON.

Hold down the key again to turn the power OFF.

•

Due to utilize the capacity of the battery in full to maximize the operat-

MEMO

ing time, a special tune has been performed to the circuit of the DJ-X11. For this reason, you may encounter an event that the unit can’t be turned on after the battery pack is completely discharged and turned off by itself. In this case, remove any power source (the battery pack, dry cell case and external DC cable/adapter) from the unit, wait for 5 seconds or so, then supply one of correct DC power sources again to turn on. At this status, even an empty battery pack should work with an AC adapter.

5-2 Tuning the Frequency

For the procedure to select the band to tune, refer to (P. 28).

● Tuning the frequency for the main band

Rotate the upper main dial.

● Tuning the frequency for the sub band

Rotate the upper sub dial. Rotating the dial clockwise sets the frequency higher; rotating the dial counterclockwise sets the frequency lower.

5-3 Adjusting the Volume Level

Volume can be adjusted within the range of 31 levels from 0 to 30. The default is set to 10. When you hold down the [MONI] key, you will hear a hissing sound. Use this sound as a guide for adjustment.

hear nothing even if you increase the volume level. For details, refer to the following sections “Adjusting Squelch Level” (P. 26) and “Mute Function” (P. 27).

5-4 Adjusting Squelch Level

● What is “squelch”?

The Squelch function activates the speaker only when signals at a specified level or higher are received. This makes it easier to catch target signals by eliminating the noise which occurs when no signals are received. When the squelch level is increased, the receiver can receive strong signals, but cannot receive weak signals. “To open the squelch” means to deactivate the squelch. “To close the squelch” means the opposite. The strength of the signals required to open the squelch is determined by the squelch setting level. This level is adjustable because it varies in some degree depending on the location of signal reception and receiving frequency.

The squelch can be adjusted within the range of 10 levels (0 to 9).

5-4-1 Operating procedure

Rotating the dial clockwise sets the squelch level higher; rotating the dial counterclockwise sets the squelch level lower.

• To keep the squelch constantly open, set the squelch level to 0.

• While the squelch is open, scanning is disabled except for the periodic scan. To enable scanning, adjust the squelch level until you cannot hear any noise.

5. Basic Operation

5-5 Monitor function

The Monitor function forces the squelch to open. When receiving signals are relatively weak or are often interrupted, it opens the squelch temporarily, regardless of the current squelch level. This function is activated when the “Monitor key operation setting” (P. 87) is set to the Monitor function.

There are two options for the Monitor function: PUSH and HOLD. When the [MONI] key is pressed, both options open the squelch and the “BUSY” appears on the LCD.

• For the procedure to switch between PUSH and HOLD, refer to “Monitor key operation setting” (P. 87)

• When PUSH is selected, the squelch opens only while the [MONI] key is held down. When the [MONI] key is released, the squelch returns to the original level.

• When HOLD is selected, the squelch remains open once the [MONI] key is pressed. When the [MONI] key is pressed again, the squelch returns to the original level.

• When the Monitor function is used, the Tone Squelch and DCS func-

MEMO

tions is also disabled temporarily.

• If you cannot receive any signals and suspect a malfunction, use this function to check if the receiver can receive signals properly.

5-6 Mute Function

The Mute function silences sounds. It cuts off audio outputs even when signals are received. This function is activated when the “MONI key setting” (P. 87) is set to the Mute function. This function is useful when you want to silence the sound with one key touch without adjusting the volume. There are two options for activating the Mute function: PUSH and HOLD. When the [MONI] key is pressed, either option activates the Mute function and “MUTE” illuminates on the LCD.

• Only one of the Monitor function and Mute function can be selected at a time.
