Operation Notices
The transceiver has been designed and engineered to avoid possible hardware glitches. However, you may notice the following symptoms when you operate the transceiver. These symptoms are not malfunctions.
Receiving Signals in Cities
When you receive signals in cities, the receiver’s entire antenna indicator may light up without receiving any strong signals. This happens when the RF amplifier in the receiver is overloaded by strong interference signals that are nearby.
Transmission
If you continuously transmit for more than 8 minutes at high power (5 W), the transceiver becomes warm.
If you continue or repeat the transmission before the transceiver cools down, the thermal protector gradually decreases the output power down to 1.5 W.
Internal Beats
On some spots of the frequency, the antenna indicator moves without receiving any signals or you cannot receive any signals. This is inevitable when you use
