Configuring The Output To An External Meter

Page 255 highlights

CONFIGURING THE OUTPUT TO AN EXTERNAL METER Connecting an analog meter (commercially available) to the METER connector on the rear panel enables you to display the levels of signals transmitted or received on the main band and the sub band. The signal type to the main band and the sub band can be configured independently. Follow the procedure below to select the type of signal to be transferred to an external meter while transmitting. Signal strength is the signal type to be transferred to an external meter while transmitting. The METER terminal has the following output rating. {page 2-11} Voltage: 0 V to 5 V (no load) Input Impedance: 4.7kΩ SELECTING THE OUTPUT SIGNAL TYPE OF THE MAIN BAND FOR AN EXTERNAL METER You can configure the signal type of the main band to be transferred to an external meter from the METER terminal.

CONFIGURING THE OUTPUT TO AN EXTERNAL
METER
Connecting an analog meter (commercially available) to
the
METER
connector on the rear panel enables you to
display the levels of signals transmitted or received on the
main band and the sub band. The signal type to the main
band and the sub band can be configured independently.
Follow the procedure below to select the type of signal
to be transferred to an external meter while transmitting.
Signal strength is the signal type to be transferred to an
external meter while transmitting.
The METER terminal has the following output
rating.
{page 2-11}
Voltage: 0 V to 5 V (no load)
Input Impedance: 4.7kΩ
SELECTING THE OUTPUT SIGNAL TYPE OF THE MAIN
BAND FOR AN EXTERNAL METER
You can configure the signal type of the main band to be
transferred to an external meter from the METER terminal.
