Most likely you have noticed there lots of bands.
THIRD
: Establishing the Driver Power Table
The driver power table is a table of RF Power settings for each band segment that is stored within
the EEPROM within the K9JM CI-V Router.
There are two methods for establishing the table, the hard way and the easy way. Knowing the 'hard
way' will better ones understanding of the easy way. It also provides the means for checking and
tweaking values.
NOTE:
On many Icom Radios the RF Power is a pot. When the radio receives a command to set the
RF Power to a different position, it cannot physically move the pot. The radio will ignore the
physical position of the pot and use the command value. If the operator turns the pot, usually
by about a quarter of turn, the pot will again be the boss of the actual RF Power level.
It is good to expand the window size for the serial communications program so as to view a longer
view.
In the configuration menu make sure that the CI-V baud rate is set correctly, then select 10:

Note: Don't panic. Please remember, this is the hard way.
Select the band segment to which to establish an RF Power knob setting. The program will now
control the radio frequency, the user MAY tune the radio to a frequency within the band. The pro-
gram will send a command to the control the RF Power initially and after each change of value. A
'+' will increase the value by the increment value, a '-' will decrease the value by the increment
value. The increment value can be changed by hitting a number between 1 and 9. Any key will exit.
