Transmit Power Limiter - Kenwood TS-890S In-Depth Manual

03 TRANSMISSION CIRCUIT

Transmit Power Limiter

The transmit power limiter prevents the transmit power from exceeding the pre-configured transmit power level. It can be
turned on or off by pressing the F [MAX-Po] key. The power limit can be configured for each band as well as for each of
the SSB, CW, FSK/PSK, AM/FM and DATA modes. Pressing and holding down the F [MAX-Po] key displays a Transmit
Power Limit screen. Configure the transmit power on this screen. Turning the [PWR] knob clockwise continuously
increases the transmit power to the preconfigured upper limit. Transmit power via TX tuning can also be limited.
An external device such as a linear amplifier may have different gains or withstanding input powers by band, thus the
required transmit power varies in most cases. Transmit power for each band can be configured on the Transmit Power
Limit screen. If the maximum transmit power has been configured on the screen, this eliminates troublesome transmit
power adjustment with the [PWR] knob each time the band is changed.

Note:
◆ Transmit power cannot be configured individually for each antenna connector (ANT1 and ANT2).
