3BASIC OPERATION3-23Basic transmit operationBefore transmitting, monitor the operating fre-quency to make sure transmitting won’t causeinterference to other stations on the same fre-quency. It’s good amateur practice to listen first,and then, even if nothing is heard, ask “Is the fre-quency in use?” once or twice, before you beginoperating on that frequency.TransmittingD CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna maydamage the transceiver.In the AM mode, you can transmit on only the HF,50/70* MHz frequency bands.* 70 MHz band transmission is available, depending on thetransceiver version.Push [PTT] on the microphone to transmit (or exter-qnal transmit switch).• The TX/RX LED lights red.w Release [PTT] again to receive (or external transmitswitch).✔ Adjusting the transmit output powerPushq MIC/RF PWR (C) to open the MIC gain/RF poweradjustment display.Rotate [BANK]w (L) to adjust the RF power.Pushe MENU (C) to close the display.Frequency band RF output power rangeHF/50 MHz 2 to 100 W (AM: 1 to 30 W)70 MHz* 2 to 50 W (AM: 1 to 15 W)144 MHz 2 to 50 W430 MHz 2 to 35 W* 70 MHz can be used, depending on transceiver ver-sions.NOTE: The RF output power settings are indepen-dently memorized in the HF, 50, 70, 144 and 430MHz bands.The L, R, C or D in the in-structions indicate the partof the controller.L: Left sideR: Right sideC: Center bottomD: Display (Touch screen)Left RightCenterDisplayTX/RX LEDMIC/RF PWRMENU[BANK]Output power adjustment
