Hi!

 

When I am on VHF, first I hit the "Power" button (second column to the left
of the tuning knob, second from the top) and I hear a high pitch beep. That
puts me in output power adjustment mode.  Then I use the Multi-channel knob
(MCK) to adjust the output power level (far right on the rig, second knob
from the top).  Once set, I hit the same "Power" button to exit that mode;
hearing a low pitch beep.  Assuming all this is correct, following are my
questions.

 

1.  Does this MCK (ratcheted) work where all the way counter-clockwise takes
me to the minimum, and all the way clockwise takes me to the maximum?  Put
another way, it does not roll-over if I keep rotating it the same way,
continuously cycling through, right?

 

2.  Assuming "1" is correct, if I rotate the MCK all the way
counter-clockwise reaching the minimum and upon hearing a "beep", I am at 5
watts.  Rotating it all the way clockwise and upon hearing a "beep", I am at
the maximum of 100 watts.  Right?

 

3.  Each "click" is 5 watts, noting that I have not adjusted the factory
default, right?

 

4.  I will hear a "beep" whenever I hit the minimum )5 watts) and a "beep"
whenever I hit the maximum )100 watts), right?

 

5.  Finally, this is all the same if I am on the HF bands, but if I am on
the 70cm band the maximum is 50 watts, right?

 

73,
