8. Configure the power meter as follows:
a. On the power meter, press the Frequency Cal Fac
button.
b. If applicable, select a power meter channel.
c. Use the arrow keys to enter the frequency at which
to measure the power.
9. Measure the output power level.
10. Repeat steps 6 through 9 for the remaining frequencies
in the table, and confirm that the power level at each
point is within limits.
With Modulation
