Meter function
The transceiver has 4 transmit meter functions for
your convenience. Select the desired meter with the
[METER] switch.
• Analog transmit meter
➥
Push [METER] to select RF power (Po), SWR, ALC
or compression level (COMP) for transmit metering.
In addition, the transceiver can display the multi-func-
tion digital meter in the LCD display, which displays
all transmit meters simultaneously.
• Multi-function digital meter
q
Push [METER] for 2 sec. to turn the multi-function
digital meter ON or OFF.
w
Push [(F-1)P-HOLD] to toggle the peak level hold
function ON or OFF.
• “P-HOLD” appears on the window title when the peak
level hold function is turned ON.

INDICATION
MEASUREMENT
SWR
Indicates the SWR over the transmission
line.
Po
Indicates the relative RF output power in
%.
ALC
Indicates the ALC level. When the meter
movement shows the input signal level
exceeds the allowable level, the ALC
limits the RF power. In such cases,
reduce the [MIC GAIN] control.
COMP
Indicates the compression level when
the speech compressor is in use.

SWR reading
The SWR meter indicates the SWR over the trans-
mission line in all modes.
q
Push [TUNER] to turn the antenna tuner OFF.
w
Push [METER] one or more times to select the Po
meter.
e
Push [CW/RTTY] once or twice to select RTTY
mode.
r
Push [TRANSMIT].
t
Rotate [RF POWER] clockwise past the 12 o’clock
position for more than 30 W output power (30%).
y
Push [METER] once to select the SWR meter as
the transmit meter.
u
Read the SWR on the SWR meter.
The built-in antenna tuner matches the transmitter
to the antenna when the SWR is lower than 3 : 1.
