Rgo One 160/60m Optional Board Instruction Manual

RGO ONE 160/60m Optional Board

Operation

• RGO ONE is classic super heterodyne single conversion SSB/CW amateur transceiver covering HF bands 80/40/30/20/17/15/12/10m. Bands 160m (1.8-2.0MHz) and 60m (5.250 – 5.450MHz) can be added anytime by optional 160/60m BPF board. Two band pass filters are suited on the board which should be attached to the transceiver main BPF board located on the bottom side.

  

• Optional BPF board works on both RX and TX. If your RGO ONE has been purchased factory built and aligned it has 160m low pass filter already installed (40m low pass fitler covers 60m band) so no other parts are needed to start making QSO’s on 160m and 60m bands.

Specifications

• Operating bandwith: 160m 1.8 ÷ 2.0MHz
• Operating bandwith: 60m 5.25 ÷ 5.45MHz
• RX Sensitivity (MDS): -129dbm
• Nominal output power: 160m 40W
• Nominal output power: 60m 50W
• Input/output impedance: 50Ω

BAND enable and band limits change in Service menu 79

SERVICE MENU

• Push and hold ENC.1 button while switching on the radio enables BAND plan menu No 79 LONG press of MTR MNU button enters menu. All service entries plus band plan are available
• Short press of RIT/XIT CL button dicards the changes made and leaves the menu

  

• FUNCTION selection is controlled by encoder 3 or UP/DOWN buttons
• PARAMETER selection is controled by encoder4

BAND plan selecton

• There are eleven bands available (01-11). Defauit values are in table BANDS
• Choose which band you like to change (encoder 4) then hit encoder 3 button

  

• Lower limit frequency must be assigned. Default frequency is shown first with “Lo” label in front
• Pressing encoder 2 button toggles band ON and OFF. When switched to OFF band will not appear in the normal operation

  

• Tum encoder 4 clockwise or counter-clockwise. Then hit encoder 3 button to fix the value. Upper band limit will appear on LOCD

  

• Pressing encoder 2 button toggles band ON and OFF. When switched to OFF band will not appear in the normal operation
• Assign upper frequency limit by same manner as for lower band limit
• Tum clockwise or counter-dockwise encoder 4. Then hit encoder 3 button to finish. LCD will show
• Exit the menu by long press of MTR MNU button (saving current parameters) again
  ATTENTION When 160/60m hardware option is not installed and band 01/03 is not OFF, the radio might not function properly
