    1.6 Transmitting After selecting class of emission and frequency, you can transmit by pressing the PTT (press-to-talk) switch on the handset or microphone. Output power can be evaluated on the operation display. Tuning the antenna: Maximum transmission power is achieved only when the antenna impedance and transmitter impedance match each other.

  • Page 19: Reducing Transmitter Power

    “LOW” appears on the display when low output power is selected. Low power is 60 Wpep for FS-1562-15 and FS-1562-25, both. The output power on 2182 kHz (Distress and calling) and 2187.5 kHz (DSC) is the rated maximum regardless of the position of the [HI/LOW] switch.
