Transmitter Power

VHF and UHF radios require two power-level adjustments, a high- power or rated-power adjustment, and a low-power adjustment. The low power adjustment is required since the radio may be used in a reduced power mode, or with a vehicular adapter.

NOTE: All power measurements are to be made at the antenna port.

1.From the SERVICE menu, press F2 to select TRANSMITTER alignment.

2.Press F3 to select the TRANSMIT POWER softpot. The screen will indicate the transmit test frequencies to be used.

3.Begin with the highest test frequency shown.

4.Press F6 to key the radio, and use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to adjust the transmit power per the value shown in Table 15.

5.Press F6 to dekey the radio, and then press F8 to program the value.

6.Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining test frequencies.

7.Press F10, then F2 to return to the TRANSMIT menu.
