MULTI-FUNCTION METER
The multi-function meter measures the parameters in
the table below. The S-meter scale appears when
the transceiver is in reception mode, and the PWR
meter appears when it is in transmission mode.
Each time you press [MTR/ CLR], it cycles between
the ALC, SWR, and COMP meters. Peak readings
for the S-meter, ALC, SWR, COMP, and PWR
functions are held momentarily.

then speak into the microphone in your normal tone
of voice. When you finish speaking, release Mic

SELECTING TRANSMISSION POWER
It is wise to select a lower transmission power if
communication is still reliable. This lowers the risk of
interfering with others on the band. When operating
from battery power, selecting a lower transmission
power allows you more operating time before
recharging is necessary. This transceiver allows you
to change the transmission power even while
transmitting.
