ALC meter deflection may be caused by excessive drive
power, but also by reflected power detected in the an-
tenna system. If the impedance presented to the trans-
ceiver is different from 50 Ohms, ALC meter action
may be observed that is not related to the proper set-
ting of the [
MIC GAIN
] knob. Therefore, we recom-
mend that you make the [
MIC GAIN
] knob adjustments
into a dummy load or antenna system presenting im-
pedance very close to 50 Ohms.
In the SSB mode
, you may set the desired power out-
put via the Menu item “
111 TGEN TX PWR
111 TGEN TX PWR
111 TGEN TX PWR
111 TGEN TX PWR
111 TGEN TX PWR
”. The
adjustment range is between 5 Watts and 100 Watts.
You should always use the minimum power necessary
to maintain reliable communications.
When performing “on air” tests (such as the setup of
microphone gain), be sure to check the frequency be-
fore transmitting, to avoid interference to others who
may already be using the frequency.
Four techniques for exercising Transmit/Receive con-
trol are provided on the
FT-950
. You may choose the
technique(s) that best suit your operating needs:
Pressing the microphone
PTT
switch will engage
the transmitter.
The rear panel
PTT
jack may be connected to a
foot switch or other manual switching device in
order to engage the transmitter.
Pressing the front panel [
MOX
] button will lock
the transmitter on. Press the [
MOX
] button again
to return to receive.
The VOX (Voice Operated Xmit) circuit will en-
gage the transmitter automatically when you speak
into the microphone. For details of VOX opera-
tion, see page 66.
