Measuring SWR

The transceiver has an SWR meter� There are 2 ways

to measure SWR� One way is a spot measurement,

and the other is a plot measurement�

When you measure the SWR of an antenna itself, turn

OFF any connected antenna tuner�

In the 10 GHz band, you cannot measure the SWR�

Spot measurement

1� Turn OFF any connected antenna tuner�

Perform this step if an antenna tuner is connected,

and you want to measure the SWR of the antenna

itself�

2� Set the desired frequency band and a frequency

in the portion of the band that you use the most�

3� Select the RTTY mode�

4� Set the RF power�

5� Touch the TX meter several times until the SWR

meter is displayed�

NOTE:

Before transmitting, monitor the

operating frequency to make sure you will not

cause interference to other stations on the same

frequency�

6� Hold down [PTT] to transmit, and then read the

SWR on the meter�

If the SWR meter indicates 1�5 or less, the antenna is

matched�

If the SWR is a high value, adjust your antenna�

7� Release [PTT] to stop transmitting�

The best match is within this range�

(1�5 or less)

“SWR” is displayed�
