Microphone gain must be adjusted properly so that
your signal does not distort when transmitted.
Select SSB or another phone mode.
Push [DISPLAY] for 2 sec. to select quick set mode.
Push [MENU] one or more times to select Q2 MIC
GAIN.

INDICATION
MEASUREMENT
Po
Indicates the relative RF output power.
ALC
Indicates the ALC level. When the
meter movement shows the input signal
level exceeds the allowable level, the
ALC limits the RF power. In such cases,
reduce the microphone gain (see
above).
SWR
Indicates the SWR over the transmis-
sion line.
