Transmitter Operation; Duplex Operation - Kenwood TM-701A Instruction Manual

4-3. TRANSMITTER OPERATION
Cautions:
1, Ensure that an antenna with a low standing wave ratio
(SWR) is attached to the antenna connector before at-
tempting to transmit. Failure to provide proper termina-
tion may result in damage to the final amplifier section.
2. Always check to ensure the frequency is clear before
transmitting.
Note:
The use of LOW power is recommended, whenever possi-
ble, to avoid interfering with other stations.
4-3-1. Transmit Basics
1. Select the desired operating frequency using any of the
methods previously discussed.
3. Press the PTT switch. The ON AIR indicator will light,
and the RF meter will deflect to the right.
Note:
If you have selected the LOW power position, the low
indicator will appear in the display and the RF meter will
only deflect slightly. When HI power has been selected
the RF meter will swing full scale.
4. Speak into the microphone. The recommended distance
to the microphone is 5 cm (2 inches).
Note:
Talking closer may result in overdeviation of your trans-
mit signal, which might be reported as a loss of clarity
or of an excessively wide transmit signal. Talking too far
away may result in reports of weak audio.
