[1000mp] FT-1000MP Typical Maximum Power?

Fri, 28 Dec 2001 21:14:28 -0500

Here is the excerpt from the technical manual to adjust RF Power Output:

* Preset the RF PWR control fully clockwise, and tune the tranceiver to
14.2000 MHZ. Select CW mode, then key the transmitter and adjust VR3003 for
100 watts on the meter. (ed. note...While you can adjust for more than 100
Watts, this is NOT RECOMMENDED)

* Move switch S3002 from 100W to the 50W position. Connect the in-line watt
meter and 50Ohm dummy load to the antenna jack, select CW mode and tune to
14.2000MHz. Set the RF PWR control fully clockwise. Key the transmitter, and
adjust VR3007 for 50W on the power meter.

* Recall menu function 4-0, and select 10W. Key the transmitter, and adjust
VR3006 for 10W on the power meter. After adjustment, recall menu function
4-0, then select 100W. Move switch S3002 back to the 100W position.

Hope this helps. I will post on the web site in the next few days.

From the FT-1000MP Service Manual ...

Adjust VR3003 for the 100 watt level
Adjust VR3007 for the   50 watt level
Adjust VR3006 for the  10 watt level

Use CW, 14.200 for the above ...

These controls are found on the "AF Unit"  board.

Hope this helps ... be careful in there !
