ANL-OFF Selector
This selector allows to enable the ANL function (Automatic Noise Limited). The ANL allows reducing electric and
electromagnetic noise on the operating channel. Move the selector to ANL to enable the function and move it to OFF to
disable it.
2.
LOC-DX Selector
This selector allows to enable the LOC function (Local), in order to attenuate the strength of the incoming signals. This
attenuator is useful in case of very strong signals incoming from local stations that, due to the high signal level, might
cause distortion and poor quality of the received signals. Move the selector to the DX (Long Distance) when receiving
weak signals or from long distance. Move the selector to LOC (Local) when receiving strong signals from local stations.

LCD Display
The LCD display has a large size (visible area mm 54 x 21) and an orange colour backlighting system, for best
readability. The LCD display shows all the enabled functions as well as several other information programmable by the
user, such as the channel readout or the full 5-digit frequency readout. It also includes a digital 10-bar S/RF Meter to
monitor the strength/power of the received and transmitted signals.
