S/RF METER
The TS-340 DX is equipped with a large, easy-to-read combination meter. In the receive position, the
meter reads the level of the incoming signais. In the transmit position, it indicates relative power
output.
NOTE:
1. IN THE AM MODE, THE METER W ILL READ POWER AT A L L TIMES WHEN THE
TRANSMIT BUTTON IS DEPRESSED. ON SSB, HOWEVER, IT W ILL ONLY INDICATE
RF OUTPUT POWER WHEN YOU MODULATE THE SIGNAL.
2. IN THE SSB MODE, NO METER CAN FOLLOW THE RAPID VOICE PEAK POWER
ATTAIN ED . THEREFORE, WHILE THE TRANSMITTER IS DEVELOPING MUCH
MORE POWER THAN ON AM, THIS AD D ITIO N AL POWER W ILL NOT BE FULLY
REFLECTED ON THE METER.
