Essential Calibration and Setup Steps
Once you finished the assembly and loading the firmware, you should run through a
number of important setup steps and calibrations. There are plenty more things to
configure, but the ones listed here should be done initially. And in most cases, you will
not have to touch these again unless you modify the hardware or the firmware improves
and you are asked to re-calibrate.
1. Touchscreen Setup
2. SWR Meter Reverse/Forward Orientation
3. TX PA Calibration
4. TX/RX IQ Balance Calibration
5. SWR/Power Meter Calibration
6. Voltmeter Calibration
7. Frequency Calibration
Touchscreen Setup
If you added touchscreen connections, check if the touchscreen is working correctly
using the following procedure
Skip this if you don't have the touchscreen connections fitted.
1. Touch screen at any point while simultaneously pressing the boot button to start
the machine
2. Keep touch screen pressed until screen with calibration information appears
3. Follow the instructions on the following screens (which involves calibration by
touching several points on the touch screen with your touch pen or fingers)
4. After the calibration procedure, enjoy the touchscreen functions!
SWR/Power Meter Reverse/Forward Orientation
If you finished the PA and you can measure HF output coming out of the mcHF in Tune
mode, but SWR meter does not show a proper SWR and no power is shown on the
meters of the mcHF, you most likely will have to switch the orientation of the SWR
