2 Press the PRESET key.
3 Press the RX key.
Using the knob and data entry keys:
4 Set RF Gen Freq to the receiver operating frequency.
5 Set Amplitude to 47 dBm (1 mV).
6 Set AFGen1 To 60% of the Receiver’s specified maximum frequency de-
viation (typically 3 kHz).
7 Set Ext Load R to the specified audio output impedance (typically 8 ohms).
8 Set AC Level meter to measure Watts.
On the Radio set the Receiver’s Controls as follows:
9 Set power to ON.
10 If required, set frequency to the same value as step 4.
11 Set RF Gain to maximum (if equipped).
12 Set coded squelch feature to minimum (if equipped).
