4-3. TRANSMITIER OPERATION
CAUTION
Ensure that an antenna with a low standing wave
ratio (SWR) is attached to the antenna connector
before attempting to transmit. Failure to provide
proper termination may result in damage to the final
amplifier section.
Always check to ensure the frequency is clear before
transmitting.
1. Select the desired operating frequency using any of
the methods described above.
2. Check the frequency to see if it is occupied before
you transmit. If you are using CTCSS (Tone Squelch)
press the MaN I switch to allow the Squelch to open.
3. Press the PTT switch. The ON AIR indicator will light.
4. Speak into the microphone. The recommended dis-
tance to the microphone is 5 cm (2 inches).
Note
Talking closer may result in overdeviation of your
transmit signal, and talking too far away may result
in reports of weak aud io.
5. Release the PTT switch to return to the receive mode.
The O N AIR indicator should go out.
