5.11 Forward Power Calibration
If at all possible, it is recommended that the transmitter be calibrated at the full 2kW
power level, even if your TPO is different. This restores all of the calibration
parameters to the same relative values as were set up in the factory. It will also
assure that the transmitter will be able to reach its full 2kW power output if so
desired (this is a user defined level which is set by the MAX HIGH SET in the
configuration menus). If it is not possible to calibrate at 2kW use your normal
transmitter power output (TPO).
The following Forward Power Calibration procedure requires an external power
meter to be used as the calibration reference.
STEP 1
Shut the transmitter off. Press [HOME, MORE, CONFIGURATION,
D] and set your operating frequency.
STEP 2
Go to the 100% TPO SET screen [CONFIGURATION B,A]. Set this
screen to read the power at which you are going to calibrate (2kW or
your TPO).
STEP 3
Press [HOME, MORE, CONFIGURATION B,B]. This should take
you to the MAX HIGH SET screen. Make a note of the setting and
then change it to 2kW for this procedure. Press [BACK] to update
the information.
STEP 4
Press [HOME, MORE, CONFIGURATION C,A,A]. This should
take you to the Forward Factor screen shown in Figure 5-2. If
necessary edit this screen to read 0.003079. To access the edit
controls press and hold [D] and press [C]. Press [BACK] to save
changes.
