➁
Push [MENU] one or more times to select Q1 RF
POWER.
➂
Rotate the main dial to select the desired output.
• Output power is displayed in 11 steps (L, 1–9 and H)
but is continuously selectable.
➃
Push [DISPLAY] to exit quick set mode.
• Available power
*Carrier power
• Setting microphone gain
Microphone gain must be adjusted properly so that
your signal does not distort when transmitted.
➀
Select SSB or another phone mode.
➁
Push [DISPLAY] for 2 sec. to select quick set mode.
➂
Push [MENU] one or more times to select Q2 MIC
GAIN.
• The ALC meter is selected automatically when operat-
ing in SSB mode.
➃
While speaking into the microphone adjust the mic
gain so that the ALC meter does not peak past the
ALC zone.
➄
Push [DISPLAY] to exit quick set mode.

D Meter function
The bar meter in the function display acts as an
S-meter (for relative signal strength, except in WFM
mode) during receive and can be selected for one of
three types during transmit.
➀
Select M3.
• Push [DISPLAY] 1 or 2 times when S or G appears.
• Push [MENU] one or more times to select M3.

■ Functions for transmit
Note: The SWR meter cannot be used for the 144/430
MHz bands since the meter activates for the [ANT 1] con-
nector only.
BAND SSB/CW/RTTY/FM AM*
HF 5–100 W 4–40 W
50 MHz 5–100 W 4–40 W
144 MHz 2–20 W 2–8 W
DISPLAY
INDICATION
MEASUREMENT
Po Indicates the relative RF output power.
ALC
Indicates the ALC level. When the
meter movement shows the input signal
level exceeds the allowable level, the
ALC limits the RF power. In such cases,
reduce the microphone gain (see
above).
SWR
Indicates the SWR over the transmis-
sion line.
