6. Упутство за употребу

6.1 Основни рад

• Укључивање/искључивање: Ротирајте Контрола напајања/јачина звука clockwise to turn the radio on. Continue rotating to adjust the audio volume.
• Подешавање пригушења: Ротирајте Контрола нивоа буке clockwise until background noise disappears. Rotate counter-clockwise to hear weaker signals.
• Избор канала: Користите Пребацивање канала дугме на предњој плочи или Канал горе/доле buttons on the microphone to select your desired operating channel.

6.2 Modulation Modes (AM/FM/SSB)

Користите PA/FM/AM/USB/LSB Mode selector to choose your desired modulation mode:

• САМ (Amplitude Modulation): Common for local communication.
• FM (Frequency Modulation): Offers clearer audio over shorter distances.
• USB (Upper Sideband) / LSB (Lower Sideband): Used for long-distance SSB communication. Fine-tune with the SSB Frequency FINE Function.
• PA (Public Address): Outputs audio to an external PA speaker.
