FT-920 Operating Manual
28
(1) S/PO Meter
This meter scale indicates signal strength on receive,
and power output on transmit. The characteristics
may be changed between Instantaneous and Peak-
Hold by making the appropriate selection via Menu
Item U-07.
(2) Transmit Multimeter
In accordance with the corresponding setting of the
Meter Select switch, these meter scales provide dis-
play of the following transmitter performance param-
eters:
ALC: ALC Voltage.
SWR: SWR as observed by the transmitter PA.
COMP: Speech Processor Compression level.
VOLT: Final amplifier transistor supply voltage
(also displayed on receive).
AMP: Final amplifier transistor drain current.
(3) [PROC]
This icon indicates that the Digital Speech Proces-
sor is On.
(4) [IPO]
This icon indicates that the Intercept Point Optimiza-
tion condition for the receiver is active, with the input
preamplifier being bypassed.
(5) [ATT 6 12 18]
This icon is illuminated when the receiver input pream-
plifier is On, and it displays the number of dB of at-
tenuation.
(6) [AGC F S] [AGC OFF]
These icons indicate the current operating mode for
the Automatic Gain Control circuitry.
(7) [TRANSMIT]
This icon becomes illuminated during transmission.
If you attempt to transmit outside of an authorized
transmit range, this icon will disappear, and “ERROR”
will appear on the main frequency display area.
(8) [BUSY]
This icon is illuminated during reception so long as
the receiver is unsquelched. By keeping the SQUELCH
control fully counter-clockwise, receiver audio will al-
ways be present and the [BUSY] icon will stay lit.
(9) [SPLIT]
This icon is illuminated during “Split” operation using
VFO-A for reception and VFO-B for transmission, or
vice-versa.
(10) [FAST]
This icon is illuminated when “Fast” synthesizer steps
have been selected, for more rapid frequency navi-
gation using the VFO-A and VFO-B Tuning Knobs,
or the UP(p)/(q)DOWN switches. In the “Fast” mode,
the frequency change is multiplied by a factor of 10.
(11) [NAR]
This icon is illuminated when a Narrow filter (in those
modes where one is available) has been selected.
