PO
” meter and “
SWR
” meter.
METER-1
This is the two functions (
PO
/
SWR
) meter which is
determined by the “
METER-1
” switch selection.
PO
: Indicates the RF Power Output, from 0 to 2k

” meter.
METER-2
This is the two functions (
ID
/
VDD
) meter which is
determined by the “
METER-1
” switch selection.
ID
:
Indicates the final amplifier drain current,
from 0 to 75 A.
VDD
: Indicates the final amplifier drain voltage
(nominal value: 48 V).
TX
Indicator
This indicator glows red when the
VL-2000
is trans-
mitting.
