RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT
The IC-706MKIIG can measure SWR in 2 ways:
(A) Spot measurement; or (B) Plot measurement.
(A) Spot measurement
➀Confirm that the output power is over 30 W.
➁Push [MENU] one or more times to select M3.
➂Push [(F3)MET] to select the SWR meter.
➃Push [MODE] one or more times to select CW or
RTTY operation.
•Key down or push [PTT] to transmit; then read the actu-
al SWR from the meter:
➠≤ 1.5 well matched antenna
➠> 1.5 check antenna or cable connection, etc.
(B) Plot measurement
Plot measurement allows you to measure the SWR
over an entire band.
qConfirm that the output power is over 30 W.
wPush [DISPLAY] twice to select G1.
ePush [MENU] to select G2.
rSet the center frequency for the SWR to be mea-
sured.
tPush and hold [(F1)10k] one or more times to
select the desired frequency pitch.
yPush and hold [(F2)] one or more times to select
the desired step.
uAfter selecting the desired pitch and step, push
[(F3)STR] to measure the SWR.
iPush and hold [PTT] to display the SWR in a bar
graph readout.
oWhen [PTT] is released, the frequency marker and
frequency indication move to the next frequency to
be measured.
!0Repeat steps i.and o to measure SWR over the
entire frequency range.
!1When the measured SWR is less than 1.5, the
antenna is well matched.
■ SWR
The IC-706MKIIG has a built-in circuit for measuring
antenna SWR while in SSB mode—no external equip-
ment or special adjustments are necessary.
☞ NOTE: The SWR of ANT1 only can be read since
ANT2 has no measuring circuit.
