Power/Volume Control:

Rotate clockwise to turn the unit ON and adjust the audio output level.

Control de silenciador:

Adjusts the receiver's squelch level to eliminate background noise when no signal is present. Rotate clockwise until the noise disappears.

Mode Selector (AM/FM/SSB):

Selects the desired operating mode: Amplitude Modulation (AM), Frequency Modulation (FM), or Single Sideband (SSB - LSB/USB).

Frequency/Channel Selector:

Used to select the operating frequency or channel. The large knob on the right is for frequency tuning.

Control del dimmer:

Adjusts the brightness of the 8-color LED-backlit faceplate. Offers 32 positions for precise control.

Noise Blanker (NB) / Limitador automàtic de soroll (ANL):

Activates noise reduction features to suppress impulse noise (NB) and continuous noise (ANL).

Digital Echo / Roger Beep:

Controls the digital echo effect and activates one of the six programmable Roger Beeps. Dual front-mounted controls allow fine-tuning of the echo.

Talkback Control:

Adjusts the level of your own voice heard through the speaker during transmission, allowing you to monitor your modulation.

Programable per PC:

The radio can be connected to a PC via the included USB cable for advanced programming of settings and features.

4.2 Funcionament bàsic

1. Encès: Rotate the VOL/SQ knob clockwise to turn on the radio.
2. Ajustar el volum: Continue rotating the VOL/SQ knob to set a comfortable listening volume.
3. Estableix el silenciador: Rotate the SQ knob clockwise until the background noise disappears. This mutes the receiver until a signal strong enough to break the squelch is received.
4. Seleccioneu el mode: Use the mode selector switch to choose between AM, FM, LSB, or USB.
5. Tune Frequency: Use the large FREQUENCY knob to select the desired operating frequency. The digital display will show the current frequency.
6. Transmetre: Press the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button on the microphone to transmit. Speak clearly into the microphone. Release the PTT button to receive.
7. Monitor SWR: The front panel meter displays SWR (Standing Wave Ratio). Ensure SWR is low for efficient transmission and to protect the radio.

4.3 Funcions avançades

Reducció avançada del soroll:

The SR-955HPC features advanced digital signal processing (DSP) for noise reduction. This system measures, filters, or compresses continuous analog signals to reduce receiver noise, which is particularly useful in crowded airwave conditions.

Programació per a PC:

Utilize the included USB cable and software (available from Stryker's official website) to customize various radio parameters, including channel frequencies, Roger Beeps, and other operational settings. This allows for fine-tuning the radio to your specific preferences and operating environment.
