2. Connect a 50 ohm dummy load to the antenna jack, or tune VFO A (1) to a quiet frequency on
the selected band. Use the TUN (19) button to verify power output on the TX Meter (4) (Set
to Fwd Pwr). If using the integrated ATU click the ATU (20) button to initiate a tuning cycle.
CAUTION: If you are not using the internal ATU then connect a 50 ohm dummy
load, or ensure that the antenna presents a 50 ohm load with a low
SWR. Failing to do so may damage the FLEX-3000 output transistors.
3. Press the Push-to-talk button on the microphone or click the MOX (16) button and speak into
the microphone to transmit your voice. Release the Push-to-talk button or click the MOX (16)
button to switch the transceiver back to receive.
