8 TRANSMIT FUNCTIONS TX Tuning Timeout Timer (TOT) This is a function that transmits constant output carrier continuously regardless of the current TX mode. It is used for purposes such as adjusting external antenna tuners or linear amplifiers. Assign TX tuning ("TX Tune 1" or "TX Tune 2") to a PF key. For more details, please refer to "PF Keys (Programmable Function Keys)" (16-2). Toggling between transmission and reception each time the key is pressed: 1 Press the PF key that is assigned with "TX Tune 1". • Transmits with a continuous carrier in the CW mode. • > starts to blink. • The meter switches to SWR. 2 Press the PF key that is assigned with "TX Tune 1" again. Stops transmission and returns to the original mode. Activating transmission only while the key is pressed: 1 Press the PF key that is assigned with "TX Tune 2". • Transmits in the CW mode while the key is pressed. • > starts to blink. • The meter switches to SWR. 2 Release the PF key that is assigned with "TX Tune 2". Stops transmission and returns to the original mode. This function forcibly stops transmission and restores the receiving status when the preconfigured TX time is exceeded. Configure in Menu [6-02] "Time-out Timer" Setting Value Off (default)/ 3/ 5/ 10/ 20/ 30 [min] ID Beep During continuous transmission via the [SEND] key, [PTT] on the microphone or the SS/PKS function on the rear panel, a beep tone (ID ID " ɾɾɹrɾɾɹɾɾɹrɾɾ ") is output whenever the preconfigured duration from the time transmission starts is exceeded. Configure in Menu [6-05] "ID Beep" Setting Value Off (default)/ 1 to 30 [min] (1 step) ● The transceiver may not function as intended in some cases as it may return to the receiving state during CW break-in or VOX transmission. Adjusting TX Output Power during TX Tuning 1 Press and hold F [MAX-Po] to display the Transmit Power Limit screen. . 2 Press F4 [ ]/ F5 [ ] to select a frequency band. The settings of the selected frequency band column can be changed. 3 Press F2 [ ]/ F3 [ ] to select the "TX Tune Power" (horizontal row). 4 Press F6 [-]/ F7 [+] or turn the [MULTI/CH] control to select a TX output power. Setting Value 5 to 10 (default) to 100 [W] (1-step) 5 Press and hold F [MAX-Po] or press [ESC] to end the process. 8-8

TX Tuning
This is a function that transmits constant output carrier
continuously regardless of the current TX mode. It is used for
purposes such as adjusting external antenna tuners or linear
amplifiers.
Assign TX tuning (“TX Tune 1” or “TX Tune 2”) to a PF key. For
more details, please refer to “
PF Keys (Programmable Function
Keys)
” (
16-2
).
Toggling between transmission and reception each
time the key is pressed:
1
Press the PF key that is assigned with “TX Tune 1”.
•
Transmits with a continuous carrier in the CW mode.
•
<<
>> starts to blink.
•
The meter switches to SWR.
2
Press the PF key that is assigned with “TX Tune 1”
again.
Stops transmission and returns to the original mode.
Activating transmission only while the key is pressed:
1
Press the PF key that is assigned with “TX Tune 2”.
•
Transmits in the CW mode while the key is pressed.
•
<<
>> starts to blink.
•
The meter switches to SWR.
2
Release the PF key that is assigned with “TX Tune
2”.
Stops transmission and returns to the original mode.
Adjusting TX Output Power during TX Tuning
1
Press and hold F [MAX-Po] to display the Transmit
Power Limit screen.
2
Press F4 [
]/ F5 [
] to select a frequency band.
The settings of the selected frequency band column can be
changed.
3
Press F2 [
]/ F3 [
] to select the “TX Tune
Power” (horizontal row).
4
Press F6 [–]/ F7 [+] or turn the [MULTI/CH] control
to select a TX output power.
Setting Value
5 to 10 (default) to 100 [W] (1-step)
5
