This device emits Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be observed when operating this device. If you have any questions regarding RF exposure and safety standards please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technologys report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields
(OET Bulletin 65). R WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER at-
tach an antenna or internal antenna connector during transmission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn. RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high vol-
ume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use. RCAUTION! NEVER change the internal settings of the transceiver. This result in reduced transceiver performance and/or damage to the transceiver. In particular, incorrect settings for transmitter circuits, such as output power, idling current, etc., might dam-
age the expensive nal devices. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized internal adjustment. R NEVER apply AC to the [DC13.8V] jack on the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a re or ruin the transceiver. RNEVER apply more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 V battery, to the [DC13.8V] jack on the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a re or ruin the transceiver. R NEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any internal part or connectors on the rear panel of the transceiver. This may result in an electric shock. R NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. R NEVER installing the transceiver in a place with-
out adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be af-
fected, and the transceiver may be damaged. R NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or damage the transceiver. AVOID using or placing the transceiver in areas with temperatures below 10C (+14F) or above +50C
(+122F). Be aware that temperatures on a vehicles dashboard can exceed 80C (+176F), resulting in per-
manent damage to the transceiver if left there for ex-
tended periods. AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty en-
vironments or in direct sunlight. AVOID placing the transceiver against walls or putting anything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissipation. Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children. During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the trans-
ceiver without running the vehicles engine. When transceiver power is ON and your vehicles engine is OFF, the vehicles battery will soon become ex-
hausted. Make sure the transceiver power is OFF before start-
ing the vehicle. This will avoid possible damage to the transceiver by ignition voltage spikes. During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiver and microphone as far away as possible from the mag-
netic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indica-
tions. BE CAREFUL! The heatsink will become hot when op-
erating the transceiver continuously for long periods. BE CAREFUL! If a linear amplifier is connected, set the transceivers RF output power to less than the lin-
ear ampliers maximum input level, otherwise, the lin-
ear amplier will be damaged. The LCD display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small or dark spots. This is not a mal-
function or defect, but a normal characteristic of LCD displays. Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other manufacturers microphones have different pin assignments, and connection to the IC-756PROIII may damage the transceiver. For U.S.A. only CAUTION: Changes or modications to this device, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this device under FCC regulations. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS IMPORTANT .................................................................. i EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS ............................................... i FOREWORD ................................................................. i SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES .......................................... i PRECAUTIONS ............................................................ ii TABLE OF CONTENTS .............................................. iii 1 PANEL DESCRIPTION ..................................... 112 Front panel ....................................................... 1 LCD display ..................................................... 9 Screen menu arrangement ............................ 10 Rear panel ...................................................... 11 Microphone (HM-36) ...................................... 12 2 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS .......... 1320 Unpacking ...................................................... 13 Selecting a location ........................................ 13 Grounding ...................................................... 13 Antenna connection ....................................... 13 Required connections .................................... 14 Advanced connections ................................... 15 Power supply connections ............................. 16 Linear amplier connections .......................... 17 External antenna tuner connections .................................................... 18 Transverter jack information .......................... 18 Microphone connector information ................ 18 FSK and AFSK (SSTV) connections .................................................... 19 Accessory connector information ................... 20 3 BASIC OPERATION ....................................... 2132 When rst applying power

Selects one of 2 receive RF preamps or bypasses them. (p. 57) P. AMP1 activates 10 dB preamp. P. AMP2 activates 16 dB high-gain preamp. What is the preamp?
The preamp amplies received signals in the front end cir-
cuit to improve the S/N ratio and sensitivity. Select P. AMP1 or P. AMP2 when receiving weak signals. ATTATT OFFOFF Selects 6 dB, 12 dB or 18 dB attenuator, or bypasses them. What is the attenuator?
The attenuator prevents a desired signal from distorting when very strong signals are near the desired frequency, or when very strong electric elds, such as from a broadcast-
ing station, are near your location. 3 AGCAGC MIDMID Activates or selects fast, middle or slow AGC time constant when pushed. (p. 59) FAST is only available for FM mode. Enters the AGC set mode when pushed for 1 sec. (p. 59) AGC time constant can be set between 0.1 to 8.0 sec. (depends on mode), or turned OFF. While OFF is selected, the S-meter does not function. What is the AGC?
The AGC controls receiver gain to produce a constant audio output level, even when the received signal strength is varied by fading, etc. Select FAST for tuning and select MID or SLOW depending on the receiving condition. VOXVOX OFFOFF Turns the VOX function ON and OFF when pushed in a phone mode (SSB, AM or FM mode). (p. 65) Enters the VOX set mode when pushed for 1 sec. in a phone mode. (p. 65) What is the VOX function?
The VOX function (voice operated transmission) starts trans-
mission without pushing the transmit switch or PTT switch when you speak into the microphone; then, automatically re-
turns to receive when you stop speaking. BK-IN BK-IN OFFOFF Selects semi break-in, full break-in oper-
ation, or turns the break-in operation OFF when pushed in CW mode. (p. 66) What is the break-in function?
The break-in function switches transmit and receive with CW keying. Full break-in (QSK) can monitor the receive signal during keying.

ment included with the IC-756PROIII, see Supplied accessories on p. i of this manual. Selecting a location Select a location for the transceiver that allows ade-
quate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or vibrations, and away from TV sets, TV antenna ele-
ments, radios and other electromagnetic sources. The base of the transceiver has an adjustable stand for desktop use. Set the stand to one of two angles de-
pending on your operating conditions. Grounding To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other prob-
lems, ground the transceiver through the GROUND terminal on the rear panel. For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap to a long earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance be-
tween the [GND] terminal and ground as short as pos-
sible. R WARNING: NEVER connect the [GND]
terminal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connec-
tion could cause an explosion or electric shock. Antenna connection For radio communications, the antenna is of critical im-
portance, along with output power and sensitivity. Se-
lect antenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 antenna, and feedline. 1.5:1 or better of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is recommended for your desired band. Of course, the transmission line should be a coaxial cable. When using 1 antenna, use the [ANT1] connector. CAUTION: Protect your transceiver from lightning by using a lightning arrestor. PL-259 CONNECTOR INSTALLATION EXAMPLE 30 mm Coupling ring 10 mm (soft solder) 10 mm Soft solder 12 mm solder solder q w e r Slide the coupling ring down. Strip the cable jacket and soft solder. Strip the cable as shown at left. Soft sol-
der the center con-
ductor. Slide the connector body on and solder it. Screw the coupling ring the connector body. onto 30 mm 98 in 10 mm 38 in 12 mm 116 in Antenna SWR Each antenna is tuned for a specified frequency range and SWR may be increased out-of-range. When the SWR is higher than approx. 2.0:1, the transceivers power drops to protect the nal transis-
tor. In this case, an antenna tuner is useful to match the transceiver and antenna. Low SWR allows full power for transmitting even when using the antenna tuner. The IC-756PROIII has an SWR meter to mon-
itor the antenna SWR continuously. 13 Required connections Front panel CW KEY TIMER POWER TRANSMIT S INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 2 HF/50MHz TRANSCEIVER TWIN PBT 1 0 Po SWR 1 COMP 5 10 9

tor, and traditionally refers to an oscillator. The transceivers VFO is somewhat different. The VFO of the IC-756PROIII acts like a computers window and can show one frequency and one operating mode. You can call up a desired frequency to the VFO with the keypad, memo pad-read switch (see p. 81) or the memory transfer function (see p. 79). You can also change the frequency with the tuning dial and select the operating mode with the mode switches. During dualwatch or split frequency operation, the sub VFO is functional (non-outline, non-spotted, larger fre-
quency characters). While pushing [XFC] during split frequency operation, you can change the transmit readout frequency with the keypad, memo pad-read switch or the memory transfer function.

If the frequency or operating mode is changed, the VFO automatically memorizes the new frequency or new operating mode. MEMORY MODE (pgs. 7680) Each memory channel shows a frequency and oper-
ating mode like a VFO. Even if the frequency or mode is changed, the memory channel does not memorize the new frequency or operating mode. When a VFO is selected from another band or mem-
ory mode, the frequency and operating mode last used for that VFO appear. When the memory channel is selected from another memory channel or VFO mode, the memorized fre-
quency and operating mode appear.

If a band key is pushed once, the frequency and oper-
ating mode last used are called up. When the key is pushed again, another stored frequency and operating mode are called up. This function is convenient when you operate 3 oper-
ating modes on one band. For example, one register is used for a CW frequency, another for an SSB fre-
quency and the other one for an RTTY frequency. See the table below for a list of the band available and the default settings for each band.

Push [P.AMP] several times to set the preamp OFF, preamp 1 ON or preamp2 ON. P. AMP1 activates 10 dB preamp for HF all bands. P. AMP2 activates 16 dB high-gain preamp for 24 MHz band and above. Regarding the use of the P.AMP 2
(Pre-amplier 2) The P.AMP 2 is a high gain receive amplier. When the P.AMP 2 is used during times of strong electric fields, distortion sometimes results. In such cases, use the transceiver with the P.AMP 1 or P.AMP OFF setting. The P.AMP 2 is most effective when:
Used on bands above 24 MHz and when electric elds are weak. Receive sensitivity is insufcient during low gain, or while using a narrow band antenna (such as small loop, a Beverage antenna or a short Yagi antenna, etc.) is used. Attenuator The attenuator prevents a desired signal from distor-
tion when very strong signals are near the desired fre-
quency or when very strong electric fields, such as from broardcasting stations, are near your location. Push [ATT] several times to set the attenuator 6 dB, 12 dB, 18 dB or OFF. ATT 6dB, ATT 12dB, ATT 18dB and ATT OFF appears respectively.

quency to slightly outside of the IF lter passband to reject interference. This transceiver uses the DSP cir-
cuit for the PBT function. Moving both [TWIN PBT]
controls to the same position shifts the IF. The LCD shows the passband width and shift fre-
quency graphically. Push [FILTER] for 1 sec. to enter the lter set mode. Current passband width and shift frequency is dis-
played in the lter set mode screen. To set the [TWIN PBT] controls to the center posi-
tions, push [PBT CLR] for 1 sec. The variable range depends on the passband width and mode. The edge of the variable range is half of the passband width, and PBT is adjustable in 25 or 50 Hz steps. These controls function as an IF shift control while in AM mode and when the RTTY lter is turned ON. Only the inner control may function in this case. IF shift is adjustable in 20/40 Hz steps in RTTY (RTTY lter is turned ON) or 150/300/500 Hz steps in AM.
[TWIN PBT] should normally be set to the center posi-
tions (PBT setting is cleared) when there is no interfer-
ence. When PBT is used, the audio tone may be changed. Not available for FM mode. While rotating [TWIN PBT], noise may occur. This comes from the DSP unit and does not indicate an equipment malfunction.

For SSB and CW modes, the passband width can be set within 50 to 3600 Hz in 50 or 100 Hz steps. A total of 41 passband widths are available. For RTTY mode, the passband width can be set within 50 to 2700 Hz in 50 or 100 Hz steps. A total of 32 passband widths are available.

CONVENIENT SPLIT LOCK FUNCTION Accidentally releasing the [XFC] switch while rotating the tuning dial changes the receive frequency. To pre-
vent this, use both the split lock and dial lock func-
tions to change the transmit frequency only. The split lock function cancels the dial lock function while push-
ing [XFC] during split frequency operation. The dial locks effectiveness during split frequency op-
eration can be selected in the set mode for both re-
ceive and transmit frequencies; or only the receive frequency. (p. 99) 70 6 FUNCTION FOR TRANSMIT Quick split function When you nd a DX station, an important considera-
tion is how to set the split frequency. When you push the [SPLIT] switch for 1 sec., split fre-
quency operation is turned ON, the sub readout is equalized to the main readout frequency and enters standby for transmit frequency input. This shortens the time needed to start split frequency operation. The quick split function is ON by default. For your convenience, it can be turned OFF in set mode.
(p. 98) In this case, the [SPLIT] switch does not equalize the main and sub readout frequencies. q Suppose you are operating at 21.290 MHz (USB) in VFO mode.

quency and operating mode for easy write and recall. The memo pads are separate from memory channels. The default number of memo pads is 5, however, this can be increased to 10 in set mode if desired. (p. 101) Writing frequencies and operating modes into memo pads You can simply write the accessed readout frequency and operating mode by pushing [MP-W]. When you write a 6th frequency and operating mode, the oldest written frequency and operating mode are automatically erased to make room for the new set-
tings. Each memo pad must have its own unique combi-
nation of frequency and operating mode; memo pads having identical settings cannot be written. MEMO PADS Memo pads are convenient when you want to memo-
rize a frequency and operating mode temporarily, such as when you nd a DX station in a pile-up, or when a desired station is busy for a long time and you want to temporarily search for other stations. Use the transceivers memo pads instead of relying on hastily scribbled notes that are easily misplaced. Displayed frequency and mode USB wq.wii.ww Push MP-W USB qr.qot.pp Newest USB qr.qiw.rp USB wq.pqi.py USB wq.pwr.tw USB wq.wuy.pp Oldest The oldest written frequency and mode are erased. Calling up a frequency from a memo pad You can simply call up the desired frequency and op-
erating mode of a memo pad by pushing [MP-R] sev-
eral times. Both VFO and memory modes can be used. The frequency and operating mode are called up, starting from the most recently written. When you call up a frequency and an operating mode from memo pads with [MP-R], the previously dis-
played frequency and operating mode are automati-
cally stored in a temporary pad. The frequency and operating mode in the temporary pad can be recalled by pushing [MP-R] several times. You may think there are 6 memo pads because 6 different frequencies (5 are in memo pads and 1 is in the tempo-
rary pad) are called up by [MP-R]. If you change the frequency or operating mode called up from a memo pad with the tuning dial, etc., the frequency and operating mode in the tem-
porary pad are erased. MEMO PADS Push MP-R USB qr.qot.pp VFO or MEMORY mode display USB qr.qot.pp Pushing [MP-R] calls up the frequency and operating mode in a memo pad and the temporary pad sequen-

You can operate a scan while operating on a frequency using the dualwatch or split functions. See p. 57 for details. PROGRAMMED SCAN Repeatedly scans between two scan edge frequencies
(scan edge memory channels P1 and P2). F SCAN Repeatedly scans within F span area. Scan edge P1 or P2 Scan edge P2 or P1 F frequency
+F frequency Start frequency Scan Jump Scan Scan Jump This scan operates in VFO mode. This scan operates in both VFO and memory modes. MEMORY SCAN Repeatedly scans all programmed memory channels. SELECT MEMORY SCAN Repeatedly scans all select memory channels.

Set the F span (F scan range) in the scan screen. For memory scan:
Program 2 or more memory channels except scan edge memory channels. For select memory scan:
Designate 2 or more memory channels as select mem-
ory channels. To designate the channel as a select memory channel, choose a memory channel, then push [(F-3)SELECT] in the scan screen (memory mode) or in the memory channel screen. Scan resume ON/OFF You can select the scan to resume or cancel when de-
tecting a signal, in set mode. Scan resume ON/OFF must be set before operating a scan. See p. 86 for ON/OFF setting and scan resume condition details. Scan speed Scan speed can be selected from 2 levels, high or low, in set mode. See p. 86 for details. Squelch condition SCAN STARTS WITH SQUELCH OPEN SQUELCH CLOSED PROGRAMMED SCAN MEMORY SCAN The scan continues until it is stopped manually, and does not pause even if it detects signals. Scan stops when detecting a signal. Scan pauses on each channel when the scan resume is ON; not applicable when OFF. If you set scan resume ON in set mode, the scan pauses for 10 sec. when detecting a signal, then resumes. When a signal disap-
pears while scan is paused, scan resumes 2 sec. later. 8 9 82 9 SCANS Programmed scan operation q Push [EXIT/SET] several times to close a multi-

lected as the [ANT] switch set mode item.
- When you use 2 antennas. Under the following conditions, Manual should be selected as the [ANT] switch set mode item.
- When using 1 antenna.
- When using an external antenna selector for more than 3 antennas (except for receive antenna).
- When using an external antenna tuner. Automatic antenna selection The transceiver covers 0.160 MHz over 10 bands. Each band key has a band memory which can mem-
orize a selected antenna (ANT1, ANT2, ANT1/RX an-
tenna and ANT2/RX antenna). When you change the operating frequency beyond a band, the previously used antenna is automatically selected for the new band. This function is convenient when you use 2 or 3 antennas. To use the band memory, enter set mode and conrm that Auto is selected as the [ANT] switch item.

When Manual is selected, the [ANT] switch functions, however, band memory does not function. In this case, you must select an antenna manually. When Auto is selected (default setting), the antenna tuner ON/OFF condition is also memorized in the band memory. When Auto or Manual is selected, the antenna tuner ON/OFF condition is consistent with the [ANT] switch. 87 Antenna tuner operation The internal automatic antenna tuner matches the transceiver to the connected antenna automatically. Once the tuner matches an antenna, the variable ca-
pacitor angles are memorized as a preset point for each frequency range (100 kHz steps). Therefore, when you change the frequency range, the variable capacitors are automatically preset to the memorized point. TUNER OPERATION Push the [TUNER] switch to turn the internal an-
tenna tuner ON. The antenna is tuned automati-
cally when the antenna SWR is higher than 1.5:1. When the tuner is ON, the [TUNER] switch lights. MANUAL TUNING During SSB operation at low voice levels, the internal tuner may not be tuned correctly. In such cases, man-
ual tuning is helpful. Push [TUNER] for 1 sec., to start manual tuning. A side tone is emitted and [TUNER] blinks while tuning. If the tuner cannot reduce the SWR to less than 1.5:1 after 20 sec. of tuning, the [TUNER] switch indicator goes out. AUTOMATIC TUNER START (HF bands only) If you want to deactivate the tuner under conditions of VSWR 1.5:1 or less, use the auto tuner start func-
tion and turn the tuner OFF. This function activates the tuner automatically when the SWR exceeds 1.5:1. This function is turned ON in set mode. (p. 99). ANTENNA TUNER OPERATION 10 CAUTION: NEVER transmit with the tuner ON when no antenna is connected. This will damage the transceiver. Be careful of the antenna selection.
[TUNER] switch Push [TUNER] for 1 sec. PTT TUNER START The tuner is always tuned when the PTT is pushed after the frequency is changed (more than 1% from last-tuned frequency). This function removes the push and hold [TUNER] operation and activates for the rst transmission on a new frequency. This function is turned ON in set mode. (p. 99). 10 NOTES:
If the tuner cannot tune the antenna Check the following and try again:
the [ANT] connector selection. the antenna connection and feedline. the unaltered antenna SWR. (Less than 3:1 for HF bands;
Less than 2.5:1 for 50 MHz band) the transmit power. (8 W for HF bands; 15 W for 50 MHz band) the power source voltage/capacity. If the tuner cannot reduce the SWR to less than 1.5:1 after checking the above, perform the following:
repeat manual tuning several times. tune with a 50 dummy load and re-tune the antenna. turn power OFF and ON. adjust the antenna cable length.
(This is effective for higher frequencies in some cases.) Tuning a narrow bandwidth antenna Some antennas, especially for low bands, have a nar-
row bandwidth. These antennas may not be tuned at the edge of their bandwidth, therefore, tune such an antenna as follows:
Suppose you have an antenna which has an SWR of 1.5:1 at 3.55 MHz and an SWR of 3:1 at 3.8 MHz. q Push [TUNER] to turn the antenna tuner ON. w Select CW mode. e Turn OFF the break-in function. (pgs. 4, 66) r Push [TRANSMIT] to set to the transmit condition. t Set 3.55 MHz and key down. y Set 3.80 MHz and key down. u Push [TRANSMIT] to return to the receive condition. 88 10 ANTENNA TUNER OPERATION Optional external tuner operation AH-4/AH-3 HF AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER The AH-4 matches the IC-756PROIII to a long wire antenna more than 7 m/23 ft long (3.5 MHz and above). The AH-3 matches the IC-756PROIII to a long wire antenna more than 3 m/10 ft long (3.5 MHz and above) or more than 12 m/40 ft long (1.8 MHz and above). See p. 19 for the transceiver and AH-4/AH-3 connection. See the AH-4/AH-3 instruction manual for AH-4/AH-3 in-
stallation and antenna connection details. When connecting the AH-4/AH-3, the antenna connector assignments are [ANT2] for the internal tuner and [ANT1] for the AH-4/AH-3. The antenna indicator in the LCD displays ANT1(EXT) when the AH-4/AH-3 is connected and selected. The AH-3 can be used for HF bands only. It can-
not be used for the 50 MHz band. AH-4/AH-3 setting example:
For mobile operation AH-4/AH-3 operation Optional AH-2b antenna element Tuning is required for each frequency. Be sure to re-tune the antenna before transmitting when you change the frequencyeven slightly. q Set the desired frequency in an HF or 50 MHz band for use with the AH-4. Set the desired fre-
quency in an HF band for use with the AH-3. The AH-4/AH-3 will not operate on frequencies outside of ham bands. w Push [TUNER] for 1 sec. The [TUNER] light blinks while tuning.
[TUNER] switch e The [TUNER] light lights constantly when tuning is complete. When the connected wire cannot be tuned, the
[TUNER] light goes out and the AH-4/AH-3 is by-
passed. At that point the antenna wire connection rout is to the transceiver directly, and not via the AH-4/AH-3 antenna tuner. r To bypass the AH-4/AH-3 manually, push [TUNER]. See the instruction manual included with each an-
tenna tuner for their respective operations. For outdoor operation Long wire R WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE!
NEVER touch the antenna element while tuning or transmitting. NEVER operate the AH-4/AH-3 without an antenna wire. The tuner and transceiver will be damaged. NEVER operate the AH-4/AH-3 when it is not grounded. Transmitting before tuning may damage the trans-
ceiver. Note that the AH-4/AH-3 cannot tune when using a 12 long wire or multiple of the operating fre-
quency. ANTENNA TUNER OF THE IC-PW1 When using an external antenna tuner such as the IC-PW1s tuner, tune with the external antenna tuner, while the internal tuner is turned OFF. After tuning is completed, turn the internal tuner ON. Otherwise, both tuners tune simultaneously and correct tuning may not be obtained. 89 CLOCK AND TIMERS 11 r Set the current time using the tuning dial. TIMEset Push [SET] blinks.

aged fuse with a new, rated fuse. CAUTION: DISCONNECT the DC power cable from the transceiver when changing a fuse. The IC-756PROIII has 2 types of fuses installed for transceiver protection. DC power cable fuses ................................ FGB 30 A Circuitry fuse ................................................ FGB 5 A CIRCUITRY FUSE REPLACEMENT The 13.8 V DC from the DC power cable is applied to all units in the IC-756PROIII, except for the power amplifier, through the circuitry fuse. This fuse is in-
stalled in the PA unit. q Remove the top cover as shown on p. 104. w Remove 11 screws from the PA shielding plate, then remove the plate.

Circuitry fuse (FGB 5 A) Clock backup battery replacement The transceiver has a lithium backup battery
(CR2032) inside for clock and timer functions. The usual life of the backup battery is approximately 2 years. When the backup battery is exhausted, the trans-
ceiver transmits and receives normally but cannot re-
tain the current time. See p. 108 for battery location. CR2032 106 14 MAINTENANCE Tuning dial brake adjustment The tension of the tuning dial may be adjusted to suit your preference. The brake adjustment screw is located on the right side of the tuning dial. See the gure at right. Turn the brake adjustment screw clockwise or coun-
terclockwise to obtain a comfortable tension level while turning the dial continuously and evenly in one direction. Frequency calibration (approximate) Light Heavy A very accurate frequency counter is required to cali-
brate the frequency of the transceiver. However, a rough check may be performed by receiving radio station WWV, or other standard frequency signals. CAUTION: Your transceiver has been thor-
oughly adjusted and checked at the factory before being shipped. You should not calibrate frequen-
cies, except for special reasons. q Push [SSB] to select USB mode. w Push [PBT CLR] for 1 sec. to clear the PBT set-
tings and make sure that the RIT/TX function is not activated. e Set the frequency to the standard frequency sta-
tion minus 1 kHz. When receiving WWV (10.000.00 MHz) as a standard frequency, set for 9.999.00 MHz. Other standard frequencies can also be used. the operating frequency u Push [(F-1)Y] several times to select the Calibra-
