Step 10. Disable the transmitter by holding the Shift button and

then pressing the Access Disable button on the Station
Control Module, as shown in Figure 9. When the
transmitter is disabled, the yellow Access disable light
on the SCM will flash. This step is very important.
With the transmitter disabled, the PA Full LED on the
Exciter Module should not light, even when the station
is receiving.
