4.1 RECEPTION (I)
NOTE:
Set the MIC and CAR controls to minimum to prevent acci-
dental transmission before tune-up is completed. The
TS-530 must be operated into 50 ohm ~ 75 ohm antenna
or dummy load with an SWR less than 2 : 1. Random
length wire antennas or light-bulb dummy loads cannot be
used.
Conventional half-wave dipoles and beam antennas
should only be used at or near their resonant frequency.
Exceeding an SWR of 2 : 1 can damage the output stage
of the transceiver.
Adjust DRIVE control for maximum deflection.

(1) Basic Procedures for Receive Operation
With a suitable antenna and microphone or key connected
to the transceiver, set the controls as shown in Fig. 4-1.
Turn the POWER switch ON. The meter, dial scale, and
VFO indicator will light, indicating the transceiver is oper-
ating. Advance the AF GAIN control clockwise until some
receiver noise is heard in the speaker. Turn the main tun-
ing dial within the frequency range of the Amateur band
chosen until a signal is heard. Tune the signal for clearest
reception, and then adjust the DRIVE control for maximum
S-meter deflection. (Fig. 4-2)
(2) WWV Reception
Set the band switch to "10" and turn the main tuning con-
trol to 10.0 MHz.
4.2 RECEPTIN (Il)
(1) NOTCH CONTROL
If a single tone such as a CW signal is superimposed on
the receive signal, turn the NOTCH ON and adjust the
NOTCH control to eliminate or minimize the beat signal. A
beat of approximately 1400 Hz can be eliminated at the
center position of the control. The NOTCH is effective be-
tween 350 and 2600 Hz.
