Programming high and low power channels
Posted: Fri Oct 24, 2008 10:45 am
My VX-3000 seems to be permanently stuck on high power (40W). It was programmed when I got it, and since then I have read the code plug:
From the main menu:
(not the real frequency or tone of course).
And in the configuration,
The problem is that the option button does not seem to select low power. Whether I set it to L, M, or H in the software, it puts out about 35 Watts no matter what.
I also have tried programming "both" accessory buttons in the software for low power, though the rig only has one ("A").
Any ideas?
