IMPORTANT To operate this radio, you m

10、ust possess and amateur radio operators license issued by the FCC. Operation of this unit without proper licensing is ILLEGAL and can result in severe penalties. - 4 - Chapter 3 Installation The RCI-5054DX is easy to install. All necessary parts (less the antenna and coax cable) have been included t

11、o facilitate installation. Transceiver Mounting Choose a suitable location for the transceiver that will allow easy access to the front panel as well as proper air circulation to the back of the unit. If you are installing the unit in a vehicle, attach the mounting bracket first, then attach the tra

12、nsceiver to the mounting bracket using the hardware provided. Before making any electrical connection, ensure that the transceiver is turned off and the vehicles battery is disconnected. Power Connection The transceiver operates off of any 12 to 13.8 VDC source. Beware of voltage drops caused by ope

13、rating from Cigarette Lighter Plugs or long DC wire runs. Sometimes it is best to connect direct to the battery for best RF output and Tx audio quality If an AC power supply is used with your radio, it must be regulated and rated for at least 7 Amps continuous. Low voltage while under load will caus

14、e reduced receiver gain and low transmitter output with possible distortion and splatter. NOTE The condition of a vehicles electrical system can affect the operation of your RCI-5054DX. A low battery, worn generator/alternator, or poor voltage regulator will impair performance of the unit as well as

15、 the vehicle. - 5 - CAUTION Voltage above 15 VDC will damage the unit. Be sure to check the source voltage before connecting the power cord. - 6 - SWRDIMSCANMEMLOCKENT AM FM RCI5054DX MANR.BEEPNB/ANLSPLITPRGSHF CLR GAINRF USB LSB CW OFF RF MICPWRVOL PA SQ 9 2415 1011 1617 12 18 1314 1920 21 216 7 8

16、35 24 23221 Chapter 4 Operation Front Panel 1. FREQUENCY SELECTOR: Used to set the desired transmit and receive frequency. The frequency is digitally displayed in the LCD window next to the selector. The FREQUENCY SELECTOR knob next to the LCD display, allows changing each digit on the frequency dis

17、play by first placing the frequency display cursor (using SHF button) below the desired digit and then turning the selector knob. 2. RF POWER CONTROL: This control adjust the Transmitters RF power output level. 3. MIC GAIN CONTROL: This feature adjust the microphone gain for the transmit and PA mode

18、s. Experiment with this control for the setting that will provide best audio quality. Avoid overmodulation, which causes interference to adjacent stations and “splatter”. 4. ON/OFF VOLUME CONTROL: Turn clockwise to apply power to the radio and to set the desired listening level. - 7 - 5. SQUELCH CON

19、TROL: This control is used to control or eliminate receiver background noise in the absence of an incoming signal. For maximum receiver sensitivity, it is necessary that the control be adjusted only to the point where the receiver background noise is eliminated. Turn fully counterclockwise and then

20、slowly clockwise until the receiver noise just disappears. Any signal to be received must now be slightly stronger than the average received noise. Further clockwise rotation will increase the threshold level that a signal must overcome in order to be heard. Only strong signals will be heard at a ma

21、ximum clockwise squelch setting. 6. RF GAIN CONTROL: This control is used to reduce the receivers front-end gain when receiving strong signals. 7. CLARIFIER CONTROL: Allows variation of the receive frequency above and below the selected receive frequency as shown on the display. This control is inte

22、nded primarily to tune in SSB signals when communicating with several stations that may not be exactly on frequency. It may also be used to optimize AM/FM signals as described in the operating procedure paragraph. The clarifier can adjust the receive frequency 2.5KHz but does not affect the transmit

23、 frequency or the frequency display. 8. MODE SWITCH: This switch allows you to select one of the following six operating modes: FM, AM, USB, LSB, CW and PA. 9. NB/ANL BUTTON (NB/ANL): The noise blanker (NB) is very effective in eliminating repetitive impulse noise such as ignition interference. In t

24、he ANL position, the AUTOMATIC NOISE LIMITER also limits noise at the receiver audio stages. 10. ROGER BEEP BUTTON (R.BEEP): This switch activates the ROGER BEEP circuit, when its function is selected. When enabled, the radio automatically transmits an audio tone each time you release the PTT. This

25、indicates the end of each transmission so that stations who may be having trouble receiving will know that you have finished transmitting. This feature is sometimes used in weak signal conditions or other - 8 - special circumstances. We discourage use of this feature in normal operation, as it can b

26、e annoying to other operators. 11. SPLIT BUTTON (SPLIT): Enables the offsetting of the transmitter frequency by up to +/- 2 Mhz (programmable) for FM repeater operation. 12. PROGRAM BUTTON (PRG): Used to pre-program operating or scanning frequencies into memory. See the OPERATION section of this man

27、ual for details. 13. MANUAL BUTTON (MAN): Used to return the unit to manual mode. 14. SHIFT BUTTON (SHF): Determines which digit will change when changing frequencies, by placing a “cursor” under the desired digit. Allows frequency to be changed in 100 Hz, 1KHz, 10KHz, 100KHz and 1 MHz increments. 1

28、5. DIM BUTTON (DIM): This button adjusts the display backlighting in four different steps to best match the ambient light. 16. SWR BUTTON (SWR): Used to check relative SWR. 17. SCAN BUTTON (SCAN): Used to enable the scanning of frequencies. See the PROGRAMMING and SCANNING section of this manual for

29、 detailed information on using the scan control. 18. MEMORY BUTTON (MEM): Used to program often used frequencies in memory. Detailed information on how to use this control is provided in the PROGRAMMING section of the manual. 19. ENTER BUTTON (ENT): Used to program frequencies in memory. See PROGRAM

30、MING section. 20. LOCK BUTTON (LOCK): Disables the Frequency Selector Control, UP/DOWN buttons on the front control panel and remote - 9 - UP/DOWN buttons on the microphone. Pressing this switch again will re-enable the frequency selectors. 21. UP/DOWN SELECTOR: These buttons are used to increase or

31、 decrease the frequency digit above the SHF cursor on the display. - 10 - 234 5 1 Operation (Continued) Rear Panel 1. ANTENNA: This jack accepts a 50 ohms coaxial cable with a PL-259 style plug. 2. CW KEY: The CW key is used for Morse Code operation. To operate connect a CW key to this jack, and pla

32、ce the mode switch in the CW position. 3. EXTERNAL SPEAKER: This jack accepts a 4 - 8 ohm 5W external speaker. When an external speaker is connected to this jack, the built-in speaker is disabled. 4. PA SP.: An 8 ohm, 4W PA speaker may be connected to this jack for PA operation. This feature operate

33、s by placing mode selector in PA position. 5. POWER: This socket accepts a 13.8 VDC power cable with built-in fuse. The power cord provided with the radio consists of a black wire (negative) and a red wire (positive ). - 11 - Operation (Continued) Microphone 1. PTT SWITCH: The Push-To-Talk (PTT) swi

34、tch controls the transmit and receive function of the radio. Push to transmit and release to receive. 2. REMOTE UP/DOWN SWITCH: The digit on the frequency display above the SHF “cursor” can be stepped up or down by pushing either of these buttons. For best results, the user should select a low-imped

35、ance dynamic type microphone or a transistorized microphone. The microphone should provide the functions shown in schematic below. 6 WIRE MIC CABLE Pin Number Mic Cable Lead 1 Audio Shield 2 Audio Lead 3 Transmit Control 4 Receive Control 5 Up Control 6 Down Control Transceiver Microphone Schematic

36、Diagram - 12 - Operation (Continued) Frequency Selection Frequency selection in the RCI-5054DX can be accomplished using any one of the following three methods: 1. The first method of frequency selection uses the SHF (Shift) key and the (UP)/(DOWN) keys located on the front panel. To accomplish this

37、, press the SHF key until the display cursor on the frequency display is positioned under the frequency digit that is to be changed. Use the” key to increase the number. Press the “” key to decrease the number. Perform the steps described above for each digit until the desired frequency is displayed

38、 in the LCD frequency display window. 2. The second method of frequency selection is performed using the SHF key and the FREQUENCY select knob located on the front panel. Use the SHF key in the manner described above to select the digit to be changed. Rotate the FREQUENCY selector clockwise to incre

39、ase the selected digit or counterclockwise to decrease the selected digit. 3. The third method of frequency selection is through the use of the SHF key and the remote UP and DOWN buttons located on the microphone. Frequency selection by this method is accomplished in the same manner as with the “” k

40、ey and the “” key on the front panel keypad. Sometimes when receiving more than one station on a fixed frequency such as on a “Net” or “round table” operation, it is convenient to be able to vary the receive frequency slightly without changing the transmit frequency. To do this, rotate the clarifier

41、 control while an off frequency station is transmitting. You can vary the receiver frequency by 2.5 KHz for clearest voice reception. The clarifier can be optionally modified to vary both Transmit and Receive frequencies together. - 13 - Mode Selection To Select an operating mode, rotate the MODE se

42、lector, and place it in the desired operating mode position. RF Power Control This feature allows the adjustment of the RF output power continuously over the range of 1W through 25W. - 14 - Chapter 5 Programming Receive Scanning The receive scanning feature helps locate active frequencies within a p

43、reprogrammed band segment anywhere on the 6 Meter band (refer to SCANNING, page 16). To begin scanning, slowly turn the Squelch control clockwise until the receiver noise disappears. Next, press the scan button. The unit should start scanning from the lower to the higher frequencies. Pressing the Sc

44、an button again will change the direction of scanning. Each press of the Scan button displays SCAN+ or SCAN- on the LCD display. The scan will stop on any active frequency for the duration of the transmission. After the on-frequency activity stops, the RCI- 5054DX will resume scanning after about a 2 second pause. To pause the Scan mode, turn the Squelch control counterclockwise unti
