[Alinco] Turning Alinco DX-70

[Dave Haney]

Hopefully somebody out there is familiar with this rig. According to the 
(skimpy) manual, one is supposed tune this rig by first hitting the H/L 
switch to enter the low power mode followed by hitting FUNCTION and then 
TUNE (same button as H/L). When I do this, there is a noticeable decrease in 
receiver noise but the rig does not appear to be transmitting and the 
external tuner shows no sign or detecting any kind of RF.

Is there a procedure for tuning the antenna to this rig that I am missing 
or does this rig have a problem ?

Tnx for any and all help and advice.
