Asic Transmit Operation - Icom iC-7850 Instruction Manual

Previous view Previous view
Before transmitting, monitor your selected operating frequency to make sure you don't cause interfer-
ence to other stations on the same frequency. It's good amateur practice to listen first, and then, even if
nothing is heard, ask "is the frequency in use" once or twice, before you being operating.
