Basic Operation:Receiving on Amateur Bands FCC ID: K6620461X50 / IC: 511B-20461X50 Before turning on main power, please verify the following items once more.  Have you made all ground connections securely? See page ?? for details.  Do you have your antenna(s) connected to the rear-panel Antenna jack(s)? See page ?? for details.  Is your microphone (and/or key or paddle) connected? See page ?? for details.  If using a linear amplifier, have all interconnections been successfully completed? See page ?? for details.  Please rotate the [AF GAIN] control to the fully counter-clockwise position, to avoid a loud blast of audio when the transceiver turns on. See page ?? for details.
