MULTI-FUNCTION METERThe multi-function meter measures the parameters in
the table below. The S-meter scale appears when
the transceiver is in reception mode, and the PWR
meter appears when it is in transmission mode.
Each time you press [MTR/ CLR], it cycles between
the ALC, SWR, and COMP meters. Peak readings
for the S-meter, ALC, SWR, COMP, and PWR
functions are held momentarily.

Note:
◆
The COMP meter functions only when the Speech Processor is
ON for SSB, FM, or AM mode.
◆
Peak Hold readings cannot be deactivated.
◆
The S-meter responds differently in FM mode, compared to other
modes. This is not a malfunction.
TRANSMITTINGFor voice communications, press and hold Mic [PTT],
then speak into the microphone in your normal tone
of voice. When you finish speaking, release Mic
[PTT] to receive.
To transmit CW, press [VOX/ 8] to switch the Break-in
function ON. “VOX” appears. Close the key or keyer
paddle. Connect a key or keyer paddle {pages 7, 15},
then select CW using [MODE] {page 19}.

For a detailed explanation on transmitting, refer to
“BASIC COMMUNICATIONS”, beginning on page 27.
SELECTING TRANSMISSION POWER
It is wise to select a lower transmission power if
communication is still reliable. This lowers the risk of
interfering with others on the band. When operating
from battery power, selecting a lower transmission
power allows you more operating time before
recharging is necessary. This transceiver allows you
to change the transmission power even while
transmitting.
1Press [PWR/ 4/ TX MONI].
•The current transmission power appears.
