You are now ready to bring the TX up to power. To accomplish this, slowly
increase the drive level out of the Exciter by increasing the POWER setting in
the Exciter RF submenu while monitoring the FWD power meter on the Exciter
LCD screen (you will need to navigate between the Exciter RF submenu and
high level status screen (or monitor via the web interface)).
Begin to slowly raise the FWD System power by using the UP button on
the Exciter, while monitoring the Fwd system power meter on the Exciter
screen as shown below.

Continue to slowly raise the FWD power until you reach 100% (equivalent to
30W after the output BPF). Be careful to make small increases in the value of
POWER as you approach 100% output power level.
The chart below shows typical 30W TX power levels and performance at CH27
(551MHz) with a 6-pole BPF and couplers connected as shown in the
Interconnect Diagram of section 4.
