Using the knob and data entry keys:
4 Set Filter 1 to 300 Hz HPF.

7 Set AFGen1 Lvl so that displayed FM deviation is 100% of the Transmit-
ter’s specified maximum frequency deviation.
NOTE: Do not exceed the specified input level that causes maximum frequency
deviation, or the Transmitter’s modulation limiting circuits will cause added
distortion. Refer to the input level/deviation specifications for the Transmitter
being tested.
