Menu Map 5,9

Description This softkey optimizes the tracking of the synthesizer’s output filter to the oscillator. Use it to maximize RF power output. The synthesizer displays: Peaking At: XXXXXMHz,where XXXXX represents frequency values. Peaking begins at the low frequency end and steps through to the high end of the frequency range. Auto Track is complete when the display returns to its original state. On synthesizers without a step attenuator provide a good source match on the RF connector. Use a power sensor or a 10 dB attenuator. If a good source match is not provided, the synthesizer can mistrack because of excessive reflections at the output.
