CAUTION: BEFORE FLIGHT, CHECK THE ANTENNA VSWR.  THIS SHOULD BE 
CHECKED WITH AN IN-LINE TYPE WATTMETER INSERTED IN THE 
COAXIAL TRANSMISSION LINE BETWEEN THE TRANSCEIVER 
AND THE ANTENNA.  ANY PROBLEM WITH THE ANTENNA INSTAL-
LATION WILL MOST LIKELY BE SEEN AS A HIGH REFLECTED POW-
ER.  VSWR OF 3:1 WILL RESULT IN A 25% LOSS OF POWER.
NOTE: The LCD back lighting can be set for the most pleasing intensity by ad-
justing the panel lighting.  See paragraph 3.6 of this manual for dim se-
lect.
