Note:
◆ If "On" (with the 5 W transmit power reduction enabled) is
configured in Advanced Menu 08, "TX Power Down with
Transverter Enabled", [MAX-Po] (F) on the right side of the main
screen and the wattage value on the key guide will disappear when
the transverter or drive-out is activated.
◆ If ANT1 is selected for the transceiver for use with an external
antenna tuner, the maximum transmit power is limited to 100 W.
Even if greater than 100 W is configured for the transmit limiter, the
display on the key guide of [MAX-Po] (F) remains as 100 W as well
as the display on the main screen (100 W).
