Transmitter Gain Calibration

Automates the Transmitter Gain Calibration procedure described in the Calibration Procedures section of the KX2 Owner's Manual.

Transmitter Gain Calibration must be performed after a KX2 kit is assembled, and may be required at other times.

This calibration is accomplished by transmitting a short signal into a dummy load at specific power levels on each band.

Transmitter Gain Calibration requires that the KX2 be in TX NORM, not TX TEST mode.

Introduces the procedure and lists the steps.

Connect Dummy Load

Calibrations requires that a dummy load capable of dissipating 6 watts for short intervals be attached to the KX2 ANT1 connector.

Calibration is stopped if the SWR reaches 2:1.

Transmitter Gain Calibration

Calibration frequencies are shown as the KX2 makes two short transmissions, at 4 and 6 watts, on each band. This step should complete in about a minute.
