This Model is a combination transmitter- receiver designed primarily fo r mobile marine use. It employs the very latest technology to
provide 480 channels of operation by means of digital frequency
synthesis with PLL (phase- locked- loop) circuitry.
The use of PLL assures a precise on - frequency operation on every
channel in both provide greater operation convenience and assure
optimum communications under a wide range of conditions.
Operable on 480 channels divided into 12 groups of 40 channels.
Hight RF power output.
External speaker jack for an extra sound source.
Electrically floating chassis for negative or positive ground
operation without switching.
A high - sensitivity dynamic microphone equipped.
Numbered LCD indicates the selected band and channel you
wish to operate on.
RX/TX LED INDICATOR:
When in receive, the LED will be ON green.
When in transmit the LED will be ON red.
CHANNEL UP/DOWN KEY:
Selects the channel. pressthe channel will increase, press
the channel will decrease.
RF gain control adjustment
Normally, this control should be set to MAX. position to provide
maximum receiver sensitivity for long range reception. However.
when communicating with a nearb y station, you may find that the
strong signal from this station may cause overloading of your
receiver. In such a case, you can use this control to reduce the
receiver sensitivity and thus prevent any overl oading and distortion that may occur as a result of the extremely strong incoming
signals. First set the switch to center and if this position will
not provide a sufficient reduction of overloading condition. Set
to minimum position.
SQ control adjustments
Adjust SQUELCH to cut out annoying background noise when no
signal is being received. To do this ,set the Channel Selector to a
channel where no signals are present or wait until signals cease on
your Channel.
direction to the point where the background noise jus t tops. Now,
when a signal is present, you will hear it, but will not be disturbed
by noise on the channel between signals.
Then, rotate the SQUELCH control in a clockwise
General rules for best mobile antenna
perfomance
Mount antenna on vessel as high as possible.
The higher percentage of the antenna length mounted above
rooftop make the better performance.

SCAN KEY:
Initialize the channel scan function by pressing the SCAN key
and channel up or down key, pressing the SCAN key again to
stop the scan function or autostop when an enough
signal strength.
Centre antenna in middle of selected location ( i.e, boot, gutter
or roof ).
Install an antenna cable line away from noise sources ( ignition
system, gauges, etc. ) .
Be sure to mount antenna with a good metal to-metal ground.
Prevent antenna cable damage.
GAIN CONTROL KNOB:
Adjust RF gain (eceiver sensitivity) of the transceiver in
variations. In fully clockwise position, the receiver section
prvides maximum sensitivity so that it can pick up weak
signals. Normally this switch should be placed in this position
In Fully counter - clockw ise position, the receiver sensitivity is
minimum, and the receiver will pick up only the strong signals.
May be used when receving stong (close) signal which are
causing overload in receiving sound.
SQUELCH CONTROL KNOB:
Used to eliminate any annoying background noise when on
signals are present. The degree of sensitivity to incoming
signals is adjustable. When the squelch control is rotated to the
fully clockwise position, it provides minimum squelch.
AF VOLUME/POWER ON-OFF KNOB:
Power is applied by turning the knob clockwise. To increase
the volume, continue to turn the knob in the same direction.
Likewise, turn the knob counter-clockwise to lower the volume.
Power is switched off by turning the knob counter - clockwise
until it on longer turns.
About SWR
Antenna performance may be peaked by slightly adjusting its
length ( 1/8"to1/4") using an SWR standing wave ratio meter.
This meter is purchased separately or the SWR can be checked
professionally. Most antennas are factory-tuned, but this adjustment
may improve antenna efficiency.An SWR reading below 3:1 is
desired, as this indicates that over 75of the transmit power is
broadcast into the air. The rest isreflectedback into your
transceiver and dissipated as harmless as heat. See chart below. An
SWR of 2:1 or below is good , 2.5 or even 3 is usually not user
noticeable or significant.

Operation
Turn the Volume control clockwise to apply power to the transceiver.
The LED display should be illuminated.
Rotate the Squelch control counter clockwise fully.
Set the RF Gain control maximum position.
Select the channel desired.
To transmit, depress the transmit switch on microphone, to receive,
release the switch.
Installation
ANTENNA CONNECTOR:
Use the 50 ohm coaxial cable with M-type male connector
(PL-259) to connect antenna. The antenna output impedance is
50 ohm.
DC POWER:
Connect accessory power cable. The supply voltage is DC 13.8
VDC +10with a power consumption of 3A or more.
EXTERNAL SPEAKER JACK:
Used to connect an external speaker (8 Ohm 4w) as an sound
source .Insertion of the plug from a speaker wil l silence the
internal speaker automatically.
INSTALLING INSTRUCTIONS:
Install the mounting bracket in the ship s cabin as shown in
the illustration. Be sure to install in a position which will not
interfere with the navigation of the ship and which will enable
easy operations of the transceiver.
PRECAUTIONS:
Before using the transceiver, please check the following as it
may otherwise result in damage or defect of the transceiver.
Avoiding hot, humid locations or places exposed to sea water,
and especially locations exposed to sunlight, installthe trans
ceiver in a ventilated locations.
Ensure sufficient space behind the rear panel to get heat sink s
cooling effect to the best.
High SWR may result in inefficient transmission. the supply
voltage of the transceiver is DC 12V , Therefore, the trans
ceiver can not be connected to AC 100V lines.
