Operating Manual
Advice:
ALC meter deflection may be caused by excessive drive power, but also by reflected power detected in the antenna system. If the impedance presented to the transceiver is different from 50 Ohms, ALC meter action may be observed that is not related to the proper setting of the [MIC GAIN] knob. Therefore, we recommend that you make the [MIC GAIN] knob adjustments into a dummy load or antenna system presenting an impedance very close to 50 Ohms.
You may set the desired power output via the Menu item “111 TGEN TX PWR”. The adjustment range is between 5 Watts and 100 Watts, and you should always use the minimum power necessary for maintaining reliable communications.
When performing tests (such as the setup of the [MIC GAIN] knob), be sure to check the frequency before transmitting, so as to avoid interference to others who may already be using the frequency.
Four techniques for exercising Transmit/Receive control are provided on the
Pressing the microphone’s PTT switch will engage the transmitter.
The rear panel PTT jack may be connected to a foot switch or other manual switching device in order to engage the transmitter.
Pressing the front panel [MOX] button will lock the transmitter on. Press the [MOX] button again to return to receive.
The VOX (Voice Operated Xmit) circuit will engage the transmitter automatically when you speak into the microphone. For details of VOX operation, see page ??.

Advice: Press the [SELECT] knob to toggle the Menu item display between “112 TGEN” and “AM CAR”.
3.Close the PTT switch without the microphone input. rotate the
4.Press and hold in the [MENU] button for two seconds to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
