ALC Adjustment

 Connect the 50-Ohm Dummy Load and Wattme-
ter to the "ANT" jack.
 Press and hold in the [ATT/IPO], [NB], and [AGC]
buttons, while turning the radio on, to enter the
alignment mode.
 Rotate the [DSP/SEL] knob to select the align-
ment parameter "I-ALC1".
 Press the PTT switch, then rotate the [MAIN DIAL]
knob for 140 W ± 10 W on the Wattmeter. Note
the alignment value which is displayed on the
frequency display area of the LCD.
 Release the PTT switch.
 Rotate the [DSP/SEL] knob to select the align-
ment parameter "I-ALC2".
 Press the PTT switch, then rotate the [MAIN DIAL]
for 110 W ± 5 W on the Wattmeter.
Release the PTT switch.
 Rotate the [DSP/SEL] knob to select the align-
ment parameter "I-ALC3".
 Rotate the [MAIN DIAL] knob to set an alignment
value to same value, which was noted in the pre-
vious step ("I_ALC1").
 Press and hold in the [F] button for 2 seconds to
save the new setting and exit from the alignment
mode.

Power Adjustment (100 W)

 Connect the 50-Ohm Dummy Load and Wattme-
ter to the "ANT" jack.
 Press and hold in the [ATT/IPO], [NB], and [AGC]
buttons, while turning the radio on, to enter the
alignment mode.
 Select the appropriate "Alignment Parameter"
using the [DSP/SEL] knob per the chart below,
and adjust the [MAIN DIAL] knob for the corre-
sponding Wattmeter deflection while pressing
the PTT switch.
