J SELECTIVITY switch When an optional filter is installed, the receiver's passband can be switched to one of four different bandwidths by us- ing the SELECTIVITY switch. The switch has five positions; AUTO, N, M 1, M2 and W, that are used to select the bandwidth. This switch should normally be set to the AUTO position. The IF bandwidth will th[...]

11 RF gain control This control adjusts the gain of the receiver high- frequency amplifier section. For normal receiver pe rf ormance, and maximum gain, this control should be in the full clockwise position. If you are having trouble copying the desired signal make a note of the stations peak S-meter reading. Then, adjust the RF control countercloc[...]

When pulsating noise, such as that caused by automobile ignitions is encountered, place the NB 1 switch ON. This switch will not help to eliminate atomospheric or line noises, only pulse type noise. Note:  NB 1 is disabled during FM operations. 18 NB level control Controls the noise blanker operating level. Use only the minimum level necessary. [...]
