RANSMISSION
The FT-847 includes provision for AM transmission using an early-stage modulator.
•
Connect your microphone to the front panel
MIC
jack. Preset the
MIC
(G
AIN
) control fully counter-
clockwise.
‚
Press the
FM/AM
mode key, as necessary, to select
the “
AM
” operating mode.
ƒ
Rotate the
MAIN VFO
Tuning Dial to set the oper-
ating frequency.
„
Close the microphone’s
PTT
switch, and adjust the
RF PWR
control so that the power output is 33%
of the rated maximum output for the band in use
(i.e. 33 Watts on 1.8 ~ 54 MHz, or 16.5 Watts on
144/430 MHz). This is the setting of the carrier
level which ensures adequate power for the modu-
lation sidebands. To activate transmission, you may
also use the front panel’s
MOX
switch, if you pre-
fer.
…
Advance the
MIC
(G
AIN
) control clockwise while
speaking, at a normal voice level, into the micro-
phone. Advance the gain to the point where a slight
upward deflection in the power output reading is
observed on voice peaks. This is the point where
approximately 100% modulation is achieved.
†
Release the
PTT
(or
MOX
)
switch to return to the
receive mode.
