S-meter Adjustment
 Set the VFO-A frequency to 14.200 MHz in the
CW-USB mode.
 Set the following controls as indicated:
[ANT] : ANT 1
[IPO] : AMP1
[ATT] : OFF
[R.FLT] : 3 kHz
[AGC] : AUTO
[RF GAIN] : Fully clockwise
 Connect the RF Signal Generator to the "ANT 1"
jack, then set the frequency to 14.200 MHz.
 Press and hold in the [1.8(1)], [3.5(2)], and [7(3)]
keys, while turning the radio on, to enter the
alignment mode.
 Refer to the chart below and select the ap-
propriate "Alignment Parameter " using the
Main Tuning Dial knob. Set the RF Signal
Generator output to each level, and adjust the
[CLAR(VFO-B)] knob for the corresponding
S-meter reading. Press the [ENT] key to save
the new setting at each level.
 Press and hold in the [MENU] button for one
second to save the new settings and exit the
