INVALID FREQ 

1 kW amplifier could not determine the 
operating frequency. 
The frequency is measured by 

automatically causing the 
RM125/RM125R to transmit a low level 

(about 5W) pilot tone for a few seconds 

after each frequency change, and also 

whenever the 

ENT

 key of the 

RM125/RM125R is pressed 

Check the cable connections 
between the RM125/RM125R and 

the 1 kW amplifier. 
Repeat the frequency measurement 
process by pressing the 

ENT

 key of 

the RM125/RM125R and monitor the 

RM125/RM125R display: it should 

switch to the transmit mode for a few 
seconds, and its transmit display 

should include at least two bars
