9-39OTHER FUNCTIONS■ Dial click function The IC-R9500 can turn the dial click function ON andOFF. And the auto dial click setting is also available inthe others set mode (p. 11-12).➥ Push and hold [1/4] for 1 sec. to turn the dial clickfunction ON and OFF manually.• “CLICK” appears.[1/4]■ Antenna selectionThe IC-R9500 has 3 antenna connectors for bandsbelow 30 MHz which are [HF ANT1], [HF ANT2] and[ANT1/HF ANT3]. And antenna control voltage is alsooutput from [ANT SEL] connector for using externalpreamplifier or antenna selector.For each operating band the IC-R9500 covers, thereis a band memory which can memorize a selected an-tenna. When you change the operating frequency be-yond a band, the previously used antenna is automat-ically selected (see left) for the new band. This functionallows automatic switching of 3 separate antennas forHF bands operation.After an antenna has been selected for use (by push-ing [ANT]), the antenna is automatically selectedwhenever that band is used.[EXAMPLE]: a 3.5/7 MHz antenna is connected to[HF ANT1], a 14/18 MHz antenna is connected to [HFANT2], a 24/28 MHz antenna is connected to [HFANT3]. After each antenna is selected, an antenna isautomatically selected when changing bands.• Antenna selection➥ Push [ANT] to select the antenna from “ANT HF 1,”“ANT HF 2” and “ANT HF 3.”• The antenna indicator turns ON when other than defaultantenna (ANT1) is selected.➥ Push and hold [ANT] for 1 sec to turn the antennacontrol voltage ON and OFF from [ANT SEL] con-nector.• When it’s ON, “★” appears. Then the receiver output13.8 V/100 mA max. from [ANT SEL] connector.[ANT]IC-R95001150~3335MHz 30~1150MHz HF ANT1HF ANT2HF ANT3
