[ICOM] Re: Icom IC-229H Power Settings

[THOMAS TAYLOR]

Hi Dan,

A friend of mine just bought a 229H at a hamfeast with no manual. all the info on the sites say it has 4 power settings and yet when he presses the power button it only goes from 5 to 10 watts. he cannot access the 25 and 50 watt power. does anyone know the trick? thanks Dan

Low Output Power Level Selection

Three kinds of output power levels are selectable

1)  Push [SET] several times until "LP" blinks

2)  Rotate the tuning control to select the desired Low output power level.

Display     Power                S/RF Indicator during Tx'ion

LPo-3       25W                           8 bars

LPo-2       10W                           6 bars

LPo-1        5W                            4 bars

 

As the default power setting is 50 W, continue rotating the tuning control after the LPo-1 setting.

The Power button toggles between only two pwer settings.
