Transmit Power
Alignment
From the MAIN MENU, press F2 twice and then F3 to access the
TRANSMIT POWER ALIGNMENT screen.
Refer to your Radio Service Manual for the Transmitter Power
Alignment procedure.
The adaptive splatter control feature uses the transmitter power
settings for reduced transmit power under strong received signal
conditions to reduce adjacent-channel interference.
Programming Procedure
1. Press F6 at the TRANSMIT POWER screen to key up the radio. (The
radio’s RF output must be terminated into a 50 ohm load).
2. While transmitting, modify the Tx power softpot setting with the
UP/DOWN arrow keys. A relative Tx power value will be displayed
(not in Watts), but the actual transmitter power output must be
determined from the service monitor.
3. Measure the actual RF power with a service monitor.
4. Press F6 to de-key the radio and Tab to move between frequency
points.
5. Press F8 to save the new value.
