REFLECTED POWER TOO HIGH check antenna cable, selector, antenna and
grounding for loose contacts or worsened
insulation; trim the antenna for minimum
VSWR or use an antenna tuner; try another
antenna; check if REFLECTED POWER is
induced from another nearby transmitter.

* Abbreviations:
OFF5 - Turn the amplier off for 5 minutes and try again.
RD&T - Reduce drive power from transceiver; do AUTO TUNE - see S.4-2.
CMV - Check the mains voltage and verify that it matches the voltage selector
- see S.2-2 and table 2-1.
CCC - Check the control cable from the transceiver to KEY-IN input - see
S.2-4.
