Chapter 3  Installation
 
  The RCI-2950DX/2970DX-150 is easy to install. All necessary parts (less 
the antenna and coax cable) have been included to 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 transceiver to the mounting bracket using the...

  5. SQUELCH CONTROL: 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 slowly clockwise until 
the receiver noise just disappears. Any signal to be received must now 
be slightly stronger than the average received noise....

  Memory Scanning
 
The RCI-2950DX/2970DX-150 has 10 non-volatile memory locations 
which can be programmed with any frequency within the operating range 
of the radio. The scan function of the unit can scan the frequencies in the 
10 memory locations.  
 
The first step in utilizing the memory scan function is programming the 
desired frequencies into the memory locations 0 through 9 by performing 
the following steps: 
 
1. With the radio operating in the...
