5RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT

■Meter function

The transceiver has 4 transmit meter functions for

your convenience. Select the desired meter with the

[METER] switch.

•Analog transmit meter

➥Push [METER] to select RF power (Po), SWR, ALC

or compression level (COMP).

In addition, the transceiver can display the multi-func-

tion digital meter in the LCD display, which displays

all transmit meters simultaneously.

•Multi-function digital meter

qPush [METER] for 1 sec. to turn the multi-function

digital meter ON or OFF.

wPush [(F-1)P-HOLD] to toggle the peak level hold

function ON or OFF.

•“P-HOLD” appears on the window title when the peak

level hold function is turned ON.

■SWR reading

The SWR meter indicates the SWR over the trans-

mission line in all modes.

qPush [TUNER] to turn the antenna tuner OFF.

wPush [METER] several times to select the Po

meter.

ePush [CW/RTTY] once or twice to select RTTY

mode.

rPush [TRANSMIT].

tRotate [RF POWER] clockwise past the 12 o’clock

position for more than 30 W output power (30%).

yPush [METER] once to select the SWR meter as

the transmit meter.

uRead the SWR on the SWR meter.

The built-in antenna tuner matches the transmitter

to the antenna when the SWR is lower than 3: 1.

INDICATION

Po

Indicates the relative RF output power in %.

SWR Indicates the SWR over the transmission

line.

ALC

Indicates the ALC level. When the meter

movement shows the input signal level ex-

ceeds the allowable level, the ALC limits

the RF power. In such cases, reduce the

[MIC GAIN] control.

COMP Indicates the compression level when the

speech compressor is in use.
