1. Mode Switch -This control is used to select the desired transmit mode. The

modes available are: CW, LSB,USB,AM, and FM.

2. SWRjCAL Control -This control is used to adjust the calibration of the SWR

meter while in SWRCALmode.

3. RITControl- TheReceiver Incremental Tuning control isused to fine tune the

received signal. This isused in USBand LSBmodes to obtain maximum clarityof
reception, and in CW mode to control the pitch of the beat note. The R/Tcon-

trol can tune the receive frequency about :t 3 KHz. This control will not aff~ct
the transmit frequency, or the frequency display, but will change the receive
frequency.

4. RFGain Control- Thisisused to vary the RFinput to the receiver. This control

is used to help eliminate strong, adjacent signals.

5. Mic Gain Switch -Pressingthis switch activates the built-in microphone at-

tenuator. This feature isdesigned to be used when operating the HR2510 in

high ambient noise environments.

6. TX Switch -The TXswitch is used to lock the transmitter on for tuning pur-

poses, except in CW mode. In CW mode the external key must be locked
down. The rT)icrophone is disconnected unless the PTT switch is also de-
pressed.

7. Meter Switch - Thisswitch isused to select the operating mode"forthe multi-

funcion meter. The meter modes are: S/RF, Modulation, SWRCalibration sett-
ing, and SWR.Each time the Meter switch ispushed, the next mode isselected.
See the operation section formore information on meter usage. The currently
selected mode is displayed above the meter.

8. PA Switch -Pressing this switch enables the PAMode, ifan external PAspeak-

er isinstalled. When in PAmode, the normal transmit functions ofthe radioare
disabled, but the receive audio is routed through the PAspeaker.

9. NB Switch -Pressing this switch enables the built in noise blanker. The noise

blanker in your HR2510 isvery effective in eliminating interference generated
by vehicle ignition systems.

10. Dim Switch -Pressing the Dimswitch dims the display backlighting. Press

again to return- backlighting to its normal (high) level.

11. Scan Switch -The Scan control is used to scan up to 50 channels in each

band segment. See the section on operation for more information on using

the Scan Control.

12. Span Switch -This control is used to select either 10KHz, 1 KHz, or 100 Hz

steps forthe VFO. The currently selected step is indicated bya line under the

relevant digit on the Frequency Display.

13. Channel /\ and V - Pressing these controls will step up or down to

the next 10KHzchannel in the currently selected band segment. The current-
lyselected channel is displayed next to the frequency display.

14. Band Switch -Pressing this control will select one of the four band seg-

ments. Band segments are: a:28.0000 - 28.4999, b:28.5000-28.9999,
c:29.0000-29.4999, and d:29.5000-29.6999 MHz. The currently sel,ected

band segment is displayed above the channel display.

15. F. Lock Switch - Pressing the Frequency Lockbutton willdisable allfrequen-

cydetermining controls on the front panel, to prevent accidental changes of
frequency.

16. VFO Control -The Variable Frequency Oscillator-control is used to select

the desired transmit and receive frequency. Tuning iscontinous throughout
the entire range of the HR 2510, with no need to select band segments.

17. Squelch Control -The Squelch control is used to adjust the squelch func-

tion, which eliminates the "rushing" sound between transmissions. Turning
the squelch control CCW until it clicksenables the auto squelch, eliminating
