DUAL Indicator
This indicator glows Green when Dual Receive is en-
gaged.
HI SWR Indicator
This indicator glows Red if the directional coupler
and microprocessor detect an abnormally high SWR
condition (over 3.0:1) that cannot be resolved by the
Automatic Antenna Tuner.

If this indicator lights up, check to be sure that you
have the correct antenna selected on the current oper-
ating band. If so, you will need to check the condi-
tion of the antenna, its coaxial cable, and/or the con-
nectors on the cable so as to locate and correct the
fault.
S-Meter (Main Receiver)
There are five functions on the main multi-meter. The
bottom five selections in the list below are transmit
functions, determined by the position of the [ METER ]
switch (#
, described previously):
S:
Indicates the received signal strength on
the Main band (VFO-A), from S-0 to S9
+60 dB.
PO:
Indicates the RF Power Output, from 0
to 250 Watts on transmit.
COMP:
Indicates the compression level of the
speech processor, from 0 to 20 dB.
IC:
Indicates the final amplifier drain current
(ID), from 0 to 15 A.
SWR:
Indicates the antenna system observed
standing wave ratio (SWR), from 1.0 to
5.0.
MIC LVL: Indicates the relative level of modulation
from the microphone amplifier stage (af-
fected by the setting of the [ MIC ] knob).

S-Meter (Sub Receiver)
On receive, this meter displays signal strength of in-
coming signals as received on the Sub band (VFO-B)
receiver.
On transmit, this meter serves as the ALC meter. The
function of this meter, on transmit, can be changed to
indication or PA Voltage (VDD) via Menu item "DIS-
PLAY 019 RIGHT TX METER."
ALC: Display of relative ALC voltage. On SSB, the
ALC level is chiefly controlled via the MIC
Gain control, #
(described previously).
VDD: Final amplifier FET Drain Voltage (nominal
value: 50 V).
Frequency Display (See Page 39)
The upper large display field indicates the current op-
erating frequency on the Main band (VFO-A), and its
TX/RX status.
The lower small display field indicates the current
operating frequency on the Sub band (VFO-B), and
its TX/RX status.
