outlined in the steps above. Then operate the METER switch between REL PWR and
PLATE. The maximum power output (REL PWR) should occur at approximately the
same point on the FINAL TUNE knob as the maximum dip in PLATE current. If it does
not occur at the same point, DO NOT operate the transmitter until you have re-
neutralized the unit as outlined (starting in the left column) in the manual.
Return the MIC/CW LEVEL control to its full counterclockwise position.
CAUTION: The Transceiver should be retuned if the frequency is changed by any great
amount. Be sure to readjust the FINAL TUNE controls. It may also be necessary to re-
peak the DRIVER PRESELECTOR control.
This completes the Initial Tune Up. Before placing the Transceiver in operation,
complete either the following CW or Single Sideband adjustments.
d.2. Single Sideband Operation
Be sure steps 1 through 10 have been satisfactorily completed before proceeding with
the following adjustments.
1. Set the MODE switch to either the USB or LSB position.
2. Connect a microphone to the MIC connector.
3. Set the METER switch to ALC (the meter needle may "rest" below zero in the Transmit
mode).
4. Place the FUNCTION switch in the PTT position. (If your microphone does not have
push·to-talk capabilities, make the VOX Adjustments and disregard PTT Adjustments).
d.2.1. PTT Adjustments
Actuate the transmitter and, while speaking into the microphone, turn the MIC/CW
LEVEL control clockwise until the peak deflections register at about S3 on the meter.
Keep the meter deflection below the S3 point on voice peaks for the most linear output.
d.2.2. VOX Adjustments
Turn the MIC/CW LEVEL control fully counterclockwise. Leave this control in this
position for the following adjustments.
Set the FUNCTION switch to VOX.
NOTE: Close-talk into the microphone when using VOX operation to prevent
background noise from tripping the Transceiver into transmit operation.
