forward power at "FWD-PWR" pad (beside IC3)
RV63/R64 (RV63 wiper)
2.5V
1.4V
4V
2.1V
Does power control work?
Check 12V DC present
on IC1 pin 14.
Check sense volta

from directional coupler.
Check IC3 pins 7 & 1.
Check Q10 & Q11.
Check IC1 pin 1 >12V DC
when forward power low.
Does forward power
alarm output work?
Does reverse power
alarm output work?
Check Q12 & Q13.
