Se<'OI'ldly,
the
lIaITIe
amplifier is
UliUaUy
Il!led
to
drive
the
modulator

In
orde!"
for the tranlmitter
to
be
fully
modullted,
the

amplifier mUll
be
able
Lo
pr0-
vide an
undistorted
output
of
Z-4
W.lU
(dependinl
on
the

By
testing
the
udio
output
power in the receive mode
or
operation
of
the transceiver,
we
can
be
lure
that
sufficient
power
il
available during the tmnamit mode.
To
test for
audio

power:
L Supply
the
proper power
to
the
CB
