Basic transmit operation
Before transmitting, monitor your selected oper-
ating frequency to make sure transmitting won’t
cause interference to other stations on the same
frequency.
It’s good Amateur practice to listen first. On the
HF bands, even if nothing is heard, ask “is the
frequency in use” once or twice, before you begin
operating on that frequency.

Output power and Microphone gain settings
If a linear amplifier is connected such as the
IC-PW1/EURO, set the output power using the ALC
meter (see at “Microphone gain setting” as below)
to
the ALC zone (ALC meter reading should be
within this zone),
otherwise the linear amplifier will
not work properly.
❍
Output power setting
q
Push and hold
M-CH/RIT
SET
for 1 sec. to enter the
quick set mode.
w
Rotate
[M-CH]
to select “
RF POWER
.”
e
Rotate
[DIAL]
to select the desired output setting.
• Output power is displayed in 101 steps (Low, 1–100.)
r
Push
M-CH/RIT
SET
to exit the quick set mode and re-
turn to normal operation.
• Available power
SSB/CW/RTTY : 2–100 W
AM
: 1–25 W*
(
*Carrier power
)
❍
Microphone gain setting
Microphone gain must be adjusted properly so that
your signal does not distort when transmitted.
q
Select SSB or AM mode.
w
Push and hold

for 1 sec. several times to
select the ALC meter.

t
Push
[PTT]
(microphone) to transmit.
• Speak into the microphone at your normal voice level.
y
While speaking into the microphone, rotate
[DIAL]
so that the ALC meter reading does not go out-
side the ALC zone.
•
Microphone gain is adjusted in 1% steps (0% to 100%).
