Description This softkey appears in two locations: the POWER Tracking Nenu

and the USER CAL Tracking Menu. The operation is the same in both locations.

This softkey causes the synthesizer, when in CW or manual-sweep output mode, to align the output filter (SYTM) so that its passband is centered on the RF output. Peaking is used to obtain both the maximum available power and spectral purity, and the best pulse, FM envelopes, at a given frequency. This peaking occurs each time the frequency is changed, or every seven minutes. An asterisk next to the key label indicates this function is active.
