Protection function
The transceiver has a 2 step protection function to
protectthefinalpoweramplifiersincasetheantenna
SWR becomes high.
Thefunctiondetectsthepoweramplifiertemperature
and activates when the temperature becomes too
high.
Power down transmission
Reduces the transmission output power.
•
“LMT”isdisplayedbelow
while transmitting.
TX inhibit
Disables the transmitter.
•

is displayed instead of
while the transmitter is
disabled.
When the function is activated, wait until the power

NOTE:
Do not turn OFF the transceiver power when
the Protection function is activated. If you do, the
cooling fan will deactivate and it will take longer to
cool down.
• You can check the power
amplifiertemperaturewith
the TEMP gauge in the Multi-
function meter.
TX inhibit zone
You can perform a rough frequency calibration by
receiving the radio station WWV, WWVH, or other
frequency signals.
REF adjustment
NOTE:
• The transceiver has been adjusted and tested
at the factory before being shipped out. You
should not have to re-calibrate.
• Before performing a frequency calibration, you
havetoset“CalibrationMarker”toON.
• Spurious signal waveforms may be displayed
while the Calibration Marker is ON.

Before performing a frequency calibration, set the
following items as described in the table below.

1. Set the frequency to the standard frequency
station minus 1 kHz.

If receiving WWV or WWVH (at 15.00000 MHz) as
your standard frequency, set the operating frequency
to 14.99900 MHz.
2.

“Zerobeat”meansthattheexactsamefrequencies
are set to 2 signals, resulting in a single tone being
transmitted.
