Manual Calibration Procedure

Use the following manual calibration procedure to properly set/calibrate your ANAN-200D power output into a
dummy load:
1. Connect a suitable Dummy Load to ANT1 BNC port on the back panel of the Transceiver.
2. Click on menu selection, Setup, Transmit.
3. Set "TUNE", Power % to 100
4. Select "FWD Pwr" from the "TX Meter" upper right corner of the main OpenHPSDR/PowerSDR/OpenHPSDR
window.
5. Enable the Antenna window by clicking on Setup ---> General ---> ANT/FILTERS tab to access the antenna
settings.
6. Select the Transmit antenna ANT1 where you connected the Dummy Load.
7. Select the PA settings TAB on the Setup menu window.
The PA Settings TAB allows you to set [calibrate] the ANAN-200D Power Amplifier gain by band [dB – Power
Output per Band] for each of the available Ham Bands. There is an up/down gain control for each band, which
regulates the Power Amplifier output for that band. As you increase the Gain By Band, power output will
decrease. Conversely, decreasing Gain By Band will increase Power Amplifier output.
Maximum power output per band can be reached at the lowest value in this menu.
8. Select one of the bands on the PA settings TAB.
