Chapter 1 Specifications Chapter 2 Introduction GENERAL Congratulations on your purchase of an RCI-5054DX 6 meter amateur radio. Your RCI-5054DX is designed to provide trouble-free service and state-ofthe-art communications, in-corporating many useful features and functions in the 6 meter band. To ensure proper performance, please read this manual thoroughly.

Chapter 3 Installation Chapter 4 Operation The RCI-5054DX is easy to install. All necessary parts ( less the antenna and cable ) have been included to facilitate installation. Front Panel 1 23 22 3 Transceiver Mounting 5 2 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.

Operation (Continued) Operation (Continued) slightly stronger than the average received noise. Further clockwise rotation will increase the threshold level which a signal must overcome in order to be heard. Only strong signals will be heard at a maximum clockwise squelch setting . 16. SWR BUTTON (SWR) : This control is used to check SWR. 17. SCAN BUTTON (SCAN) : This is used to scan frequency in each band segment. 6.

Operation (Continued) Operation (Continued) Rear Panel Microphone 1 2 3 4 1. PTT SWITCH : Use the Push-To-Talk (PTT) switch to control the transmit and receive of the radio. Push to transmit and release to receive. 2. REMOTE UP/DOWN SWITCH : An operating frequency can be stepped up or down simply by pushing either of these buttons. For best results, the user should select a low-impedance dynamic type microphone or a transistorized microphone.

Operation (Continued) Chapter 5 Programming Frequency Selection Frequency Selection Frequency selection for the RCI-5054DX is simple. Select the desired operating frequency by rotating the Frequency Selector, or using the UP/DOWN buttons on the front panel or the microphone. Press the LOCK button to lock the selected frequency . This will disable the Frequency Selector and the UP/DOWN buttons on the front panel of the microphone. Repressing the LOCK button unlocks the frequency.

Programming (Continued) Programming (Continued) Receive Scanning 4. Select the desired frequency you wish to store in memory. 5. Press the ENT button. 6. Repeat the procedure to program other memory channels. The receive scanning feature allows you to locate active frequencies in the entire band segment. To begin scanning , slowly turn the Squelch control clockwise until the receiver noise disappears. Next, press the scan button. The unit should start scanning from the lower to the higher frequencies.
PAGE 8
Chapter 6 Frequency Scanning Frequency Scanning (Continued) Frequency scanning can be achieved using one of two methods : the first method involves scanning of pre-programmed memory channels; the second method permits the user to scan all frequencies between a pre-set upper and lower scan limit. Both methods of frequency scanning follows. Memory Scanning . All-Frequency scanning To allow All-Frequency scanning, the user must first program the upper and lower scanning limits.
PAGE 9
Chapter 7 Offset Frequency Operation Memo The RCI-5054DX has an offset or split-frequency feature that permits the radio to be operated in a half-duplex mode. This allows the user to talk on FM repeaters operating in the 6 meter band. (NOTE : FM repeaters may require that a sub-audible (CTCSS) tone be transmitted to gain access to the repeater. The RCI-5054DX is not factory-equipped with a CTCSS encoder/decoder.
