Basic transmit operation
Before transmitting, monitor your selected oper-
ating frequency to make sure transmitting won’t
cause interference to other stations on the same
frequency.
It’s good Amateur practice to listen first. On the
HF bands, even if nothing is heard, ask “is the
frequency in use” once or twice, before you begin
operating on that frequency.

Output power and Microphone gain settings
If a linear amplifier is connected such as the
IC-PW1/EURO, set the output power using the ALC
meter (see at “Microphone gain setting” as below)
to
the ALC zone (ALC meter reading should be
within this zone),
otherwise the linear amplifier will
not work properly.

Microphone gain setting
Microphone gain must be adjusted properly so that
your signal does not distort when transmitted.
