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
500 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 25 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
(# , descibed previously).
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 ]
knob (# , descibed previously).
VDD: Final amplifier FET Drain Voltage (nominal
value: 50 V).
A-BUSY Indicator
This LED glows green whenever the Main band (VFO-
A) receiver squelch is open. If this indicator is not
illuminated, and reception seems to have been "lost"
on the Main receiver for no apparent reason, check
the position of the [ SQL ] control (#
viously) and rotate it fully counter-clockwise to re-
store reception.
TX Indicator
This indicator glows Red during transmission.
If you attempt to transmit while operating outside of
an Amateur band, this indicator will blink Red, indi-
cating an "out of band" condition.

This LED glows green whenever the Sub band (VFO-

illuminated, and reception seems to have been "lost"
on the Sub receiver for no apparent reason, check the
position of the Sub (VFO-B) [ SQL ] control (#
described later) and rotate it fully counter-clockwise
to restore reception.
Tuning Offset Indicator
This is a tuning scale that, as configured from the fac-
tory, provides a visual CW tuning indication of the
incoming signal's offset from your transceiver's CW
carrier frequency, as programmed by the position of
the [ PITCH ] control (#
, described previously).

Using Menu item "DISPLAY 016 BAR DISPLAY
SELECT", you can choose indication of the CW -
TUNE, Clarifier, VRF, or IF Notch function.
SPLIT Indicator
This indicator glows Red when the "Split" mode is
engaged (with the Main (VFO-A) and Sub (VFO-B)
bands operating on different frequencies).
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 condition
of the antenna, its coaxial cable, and/or the connec-
tors on the cable so as to locate and correct the fault.
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 op-
erating frequency on the Sub band (VFO-B), and its
TX/RX status.
