CONTROLS AND WHAT THEY DO Kaunas eee teenie Q @ e salt I ai | i fa] ic Peery Bren2.1 FRONT PANEL (Refer to Fig. 1) @ > POWER/VOL Knob Volume control combined with pushbutton power switch, A single push of the button turns. the power on and another off or vice versa. Volume is increased by turning the knob clockwise. SQUELCH/RF ATT Control This control serves both for squelch control and RF attenuation switching. The SQUELCH control is used to cut off nosignal receiver hiss noise. In general, turn it clockwise until the noise threshold is reached when no signal is coming through the receiver. The RF ATT switch, when pulled out, reduces the receive sensitivity around 10 dB. (For use of this switch, refer to page 11.) ON AIR Indicator A light-emitting diode which lights during transmit. ULI Indicator A light-emitting diode which indicates the unlock state. While this indicator lights, you cannot use the TR-7500 for any of the trans- mit and receive operations. For details, see page 10. Channel Indicator Lightemitting diodes display operation chan nel number. (see Table 1, the “List of Channel Frequencies”) Meter Dual-purpose meter indicates input signal strength and antenna output. Automatic switching. TONE BURST Indicator A light-emitting diode, which indicates the operation of the tone burst circuit when lighting. TONE BURST Switch This switch at the “ON position allows modu: lating the tone burst when the mieraphone press-to-talk switch is pressed in. © MIC Connector Gonnect the accessory microphone to this can- nector. @® MODE switch This switch shifts the operating frequency. @D HI/LOW Switch HIGH or LOW transmit output is selected, by setting the knob in the normal position or pushing the knob in. The reduced power state (LOW) by the green light in the meter. dicated ® Main Knob A channel selector knob, turned either ctock- wise or counterclockwise. This has 40 chan- nel steps. The knob has a large knotch at the 145.00" position 2.2 REAR PANEL (Refer to Fig. 2) EXT SP Connector External AF output (8 ohm) ® Center Meter Connector This connector allows an external center meter to monitor a frequency deviation of the other station, ® ANT Connector For connection of any 50 ohm 2-meter anten- ra, ® Audio Filter Switch This switches on of off the high-cut filter to change the receive sound tone. Turning it “ON” makes the sound soft. @ 0¢ Power Connector Accepts normal DC operating voltage through the DC power cord supplied with the TR-7500.(ho (1)onee— BL Bum oe- Se te sorta “ann ae)4.1 RECEIVING 1, Connect the supplied power cable to the DC power connector @ and the antenna cable to the ANT connector @ Select 2 DC power supply or battery pack having 3.0A current capacity at 13.8V. Caution: Make certain that connection of the positive (@) and negative (Ch power cable leads have been connected Property, 2. Depress the POWER/VOL@ knob on the front panel, The frequency indicator window will then indicate the number of the selected channel. Then turn the knob clockwise to obtain operat: ing noise. Position the knob to the point at which eny appropriate sound volume is obtain- ed 3. Set the main knob @ to the appropriate posi: tion. 4. Slowly turn the squeich knob @ clockwise to effect the squelch until the internal noise dis- appears from the speaker. This adjustment should be made with no input signal. The speaker will produce the sounds with the input signal. With no input signal, sound will not be heard from the speaker because of the squelch control. The meter @ will deflect with changes in the strength of the input signal. s 42 TRANSMITTING 1. Plug the supplied microphone cable plug into the MIC Connector © 2. Depress the microphone push-to-talk switch to operate the TR-7500 in the transmit mode. The ON AIR Indicator @ will light and the meter @ pointer will deflect to indicate the RF output power. 3. The proper separation between your mouth and rophone is & to 10 cm. Note: ‘You can check the operations! condition of the anten- na system by observing the reading on 9 standing: wave ratio (SWR) meter. 1t is recommended that the antenna system SWR is 1.5 : 1 or loss. ‘The transmit power will be reduced by a protection circuit when the SWR is too high, The TR-7500 is detigned so that the Meter@will read "7 ~ 9” when ‘operating high power (10 watts) into a 50 ohm loed. ‘The antenna system, therefore, is acceptable if the meter reads around this value. The meter, in this sense, acts as an SWRI indicator. 4.3 HOW TO USE THE HI/LOW SWITCH O80 between locals can be enjoyed with less inter: ference and power consumption by reducing the ‘output power to only the required value. This is accomplished by depressing the HI/LOW pushbutton switch, which reduces power from the normal 10 watts to approx. 1 watt. The ON AIR tamp will remain unchanged in luminous intensity, ‘whereas the meter indication will drop to approx. "3" on the meter. 4.4 HOW TO USE THE MODE SWITCH This switch has three positions: S: Set TR-7500 in simplex mode of operation where both transmit and receive operations are at same frequency, NN: Transmit frequency is same as displayed, but receive frequency is 600 kHz higher than it. FR: Reversely, receive frequency is same as dis- played, but transmit frequency is 600 kHz hhigher than it.Table 1 Channel Table trea | m | x | x 45.600 | 145600 | 148.000, 5 /iasens | vas.eam [146.006 r9m630 | 5680 [145000 jas7s |14s676 | sens [ias075 145300 2 41145100 #48200 [145.100 [145.200 | 053 S| sas [sas [seas | wares [ree 6 as.160 5.150 5 760 | 45 760 148.860 45.975 | 145 775 [146.075 + 145.250 | 145.250 e206 148275 | 12148300 15.300 | 145.300, 13 wsar6 wasa0s | saz5 | 575 VS | 14575 vasa7s | R75 |vesons | veg.96 | 15.975 W 16 | 145.490 | 145.400 145.400 | 145.000 | 46000 145.400 we |W | wsezs rasa | 195028 | Hc 5az5 |e [sae es 80 oe ar | ao | 1s [sere sare a7 [20 [ens | e500 [0 [10 | 200 7 | wssre 05595 a5 | e255 22 WSs80 YaS.580 146.180 | 146.180 | 145.50 Za_| 5576 WHS75 | 5675 [6.16 146.18 EGS 8 "145.600 | 146.200 | 148.200 | 145.600 [es ws | wean itd >) s ‘wseeo] se 28 | w5700 | 14s 300 8700 ao) 20 [yenvas anaes [renee [ree 3ae 10208 [e825 35 [ws 00 | wn2e0 |os7e0 [rao ens0 [es [sam 75 |n45775 | 145775 | 146.075 | 100975 | 45.775 14.00 | 4.0 | 4800 | 1640015400 [ses ‘wsas[nesazs [users] ‘ase [vaso en [haere [rasars [vasa7s [wears ose i @ T [15.900 |145:900 | 145.900 vase [vasazs [venens [ese [ieeazs "145.950 | 45.950 | 145950 [145550 | 146550 Yaae.as [46425 |ses2s 500 | 48 500 S,N, Ri Mode switch position Tx: Tronsmit RX: Reteive 10 4.5 HOW TO USE THE TONE BURST SWITCH Pressing the TONE BURST switch turns the tone burst circuit on. The 1,750 Hz burst signal is modulated at around 0.7 second time constant while the press-to-talk switeh ig in for transmis: sion. 4.6 NOTES ON THE ULI INDICATOR Your TR-7500 has a protective circuit that stops the oscillator circuit if this fails to operate nor mally. This unlock feature therefore prevents pos- sible faulty PLL operation from interferring with other stations, The unlock circuit, when operates, activates the ULI indicator, not allowing transmit Nor receive operation. However, note that even if it lights in the following cases, the PLL circui is normal, or not at fault. 1. The Main knob (rotary switch) is not at the correct click point. 2, The ULI indicator lights momentarily when the POWER switch is switched on or when the Main knob is turned. 4.7 CHANNEL TABLE Your TR-7500 is a 40 channel FM transceiver for specific use in 145 to 146 MHz, with basic channel intervals being 25 KHz. The TR-7500 has the 40 channel built-in for frequent use (see Table 1). 48 REPEATER OPERATION ‘Your TR-7500 is capable of actuating the repeater, ‘the specifications of which are is follows. © Frequency shift: 600 kH2. ‘© Starting system: Carrier controlled type where action is contralled by 1,750 Hz tone signal. ‘When turning the TONE switch to “ON”, the tone ‘oscillator built in your TR-7500 runs and at the ‘same time, it automatically sends out the tone ‘signal which actuates the repeater. In the “N” mode where the receive frequency is 600 kHz higher than the transmit frequency, the frequency of the channel “0" position incoming to the repeaterDteg 25aaoery, giusie aerzat) i33h-25ca50(8) 0) gase 25e89647.0) As5tY 0) Bbazazscrastv)X47-1960-00) _(x45~1110-00 ace pete 02: Isasge Be! 19S fe : FS-7a06 ‘O12 2502380¥), Pe 1 e007P10G Did = (19-0EH1-0SX) (00-081 1-G6x) Yyouims Ajeq0y LINN 11d LINN XY(09-0011-29x) (00-O111-S¥x) LINN SNOL 1OL INN Wd col (00-0901-Z¥X) LIND SAIYG 60 pyOl FOL IUA cuA
