6. Uputstvo za upotrebu
6.1 Osnovni rad
- Uključivanje/isključivanje: Rotirajte Kontrola napajanja/glasnoće clockwise to turn the radio on. Continue rotating to adjust the audio volume.
- Podešavanje prigušenja: Rotirajte Kontrola nivoa prigušnice clockwise until background noise disappears. Rotate counter-clockwise to hear weaker signals.
- Odabir kanala: Koristite Prekidač kanala dugme na prednjoj ploči ili Kanal gore/dolje buttons on the microphone to select your desired operating channel.
6.2 Modulation Modes (AM/FM/SSB)
Koristite PA/FM/AM/USB/LSB Mode selector to choose your desired modulation mode:
- prijepodne (Ampmodulacija visine): 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.
