TX Battery Saver
The
FT-25R/E
also includes a useful Transmit Battery Saver, which will automatically
lower the power output level when the last signal received was very strong. For example,
when operating in the immediate vicinity of a repeater station, there is generally no reason
to use the High Power output in order to achieve full-quieting access to the repeater. With
the Transmit Battery Saver enabled, the automatic selection of Low Power operation
conserves battery drain significantly.
