9. Increase the power (read on the power meter) to 200 watts by adjusting the OCM
parameter 990 starting with initial value of 0.4 (i.e. FIPS: w 990 0.4). Note that the range of
parameter 990 is 0.0 to 1.0. Make initial steps of 0.1. The power must be between 195 and 205
watts ± 5 watts in order for the calibration to take place.
10. Wait about two minutes for transmitter to key up at least 60 times. Verify that the internal
calibration factor is 1.00000 by typing the RFO FIPS command a790. Also verify that the
uncalibrated internal wattmeter reading is within 20% of the reading on the reference
power meter. Use the “Power Per Subchannel” reading from the a 79 0 response as the
external wattmeter reading.
The Station is Keyed in Test Mode.
