User manual ICOM IC-3PS

[. . . ] NEVER attach an antenna or internal antenna connector during transmission. This may result in an electric shock or burn. During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the vehicle's engine. When transceiver power is ON and your vehicle's engine is OFF, the vehicle's battery will soon become exhausted. [. . . ] e Rotate the main dial to select the desired output. · Output power is displayed in 101 steps (L, 1­99 and H) but is continuously selectable. Maximum output power is selected. · Available power SSB/CW/RTTY: AM: *Carrier power 2 (or less) ­100 W 2 (or less) ­40 W* · Setting microphone gain Microphone gain must be adjusted properly so that your signal does not distort when transmitted. e Push [ UP]/[ DN] one or more times to select "MIC GAIN". r When speaking into the microphone adjust the mic gain so that the ALC meter does not peak past the ALC zone. t Push [SET] to exit quick set mode. Microphone gain is set to 50. ALC zone ï Meter function The bar meter in the function display acts as an Smeter (for relative signal strength) during receive and can be selected for one of three functions during transmit. · Push [SET] one or more times to select the PO, ALC and SWR meter mode. DISPLAY MEASUREMENT INDICATION Indicates the relative RF output power. When the meter movement shows the input signal level exceeds the allowable level, the ALC limits the RF power. In such cases, reduce the microphone gain (see above). Indicates the SWR over the transmission line. ALC SWR 26 RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT 5 ï Microphone compressor IC-3PS has a built-in, low distortion Mic compressor circuit. This circuit increases your average talk power in SSB mode and is especially useful for DX'ing when the receiving station is having difficulty copying your signal. w Select the mic gain display in quick set mode. · Push [SET] for 1 sec. e Push [UP Y] or [Z DN] one or more times to select [TUNER]. r Rotate the main dial to select "18". · AT-180 AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER is selected. NOTE: NEVER select "4" (AH-4 AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER), otherwise the transceiver trans- Push and hold 1 sec. to start manual tuning. If the tuner cannot reduce the SWR to less than 1. 5:1 after 20 sec. In this case, check the following: · the antenna connection and feedline · the antenna SWR (p. 26; meter function) mits automatically when turning the power ON. Push [TUNER] to cancel unexpected tramsmission. Then, re-select the tuner type correctly. u Push [PWR] to turn power ON again. · AUTO TUNE: Push [TUNER] to turn the tuner ON. The antenna is tuned automatically during transmission when the antenna SWR is higher than 1. 5:1. · When the tuner is OFF, " " goes out. · Through inhibit The AT-180 has a through inhibit condition. When selecting this condition, the tuner can be used at poor SWR's. [. . . ] Up to 4 Icom CI-V transceivers or receivers can be connected to a personal computer equipped with an RS-232C port. 32 for setting the CI-V condition using set mode.
