11. POWER OUTPUT METER ADJUSTMENT
VR. located on the transceiver rear panel adjacent
to the antenna coax fitting, provides an adjustment for
power output indication on the meter.
This potentiometer should be adjusted to indicate 1/2
to 2/4. full seale meter deflection when the transmitter
ig producing full output power in the tune position.
it should be noted that the meter indicates relative
power output and is not the basis for determining
actual power output,
VR6 has been preset at the factory to read 1/2 to
2/3 full seale into a 52 ohm dummy load. The operator
Should not indiscriminately adjust VRG into an unknown
load or an antenna with high VSWR.
12. FINAL AMPLIFIER NEUTRALIZATION
When replacing the final amplifier tubes, it may be
necessary to resel the bias to give correct idle current
and check neutralization, Using the procedure outline
below will guarantee maximum output and long tube
