3.2 Initial Settings
DO NOT CONNECT THE RADIO TO THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE AND DURING INITIAL SETTINGS
OF CONTROLS.
1) Connect an ohmmeter between the wiper of RP3 and Ground. Turn RP3 in CCW direction until readings of the ohmmeter
are within 100 to 500 Ohm
2) Connect an ohmmeter between the wiper of RP5 and Ground. Turn RP5 in CCW direction until readings of the ohmmeter
are within 100 to 300 Ohm
3) Connect an ohmmeter between the wiper of RP6 and Ground. Turn RP6 in CCW direction until readings of the ohmmeter
are within 100 to 300 Ohm
4) Connect an ohmmeter between the wiper of RP7 and Ground. Turn RP7 in CCW direction until readings of the ohmmeter
are within 200 to 500 Ohm
3.3 Applying power for the first time.
RF Power amplifier and AF Power Amplifier of the radio are connected to the power supply before the
internal ON/OFF Switch, i.e. supply voltage is present even if the ON/OFF Switch is in OFF position. It
is strongly recommended to disconnect the radio from the plus of the power supply if full switching
OFF is needed.
Keep the minus of the Power Supply Unit connected to the GROUND.
Use pre-programmed and checked Front Panel.
