Getting to know your FT-Meter
Your FT-Meter is a quality, precision instrument that will give you many years of outstanding
service; take a few minutes to get to know it.
The front panel presents the meter face with seven calibrated scales:
S
: Signal strength on receive, calibrated in "S" units and dB above S9
ALC
: Automatic Level Control voltage on transmit (shares S Meter scale)
PWR
: Transmitter output power in Watts
SWR
: Standing Wave Ratio on transmit
MOD
: Percent modulation on transmit
VOLT
: Power supply voltage on receive or transmit
DISC
: Discriminator reading on receive
You will select two of these scales for display, one for receive mode and one for transmit mode,
from the radio's setup menu. You can change among them as often as you like.
There are no controls on the FT-Meter; operation is fully automatic.
