Hello All!!

?

I need to change the wattage on TX Tune from 100 Watts to 50 Watts. How do I do this. I'm stuck! Thanks in advance for your help. AA6RK...

Gary,

Where you at Keesler AFB in 1977? I knew a Gary Cook that ended up here at KI Sawyer AFB after tech school, and was a DJ in Montgomery AL before the service...

Just curious!

1. Press [PWR]
2. Turn the [MULTI/CH] counterclockwise to reduce power

Gary,

Thanks for your quick reply. I forgot to ask if I could change the PF from 100 watts to a lower power. I couldn't recall how I did this once before. HI... Bob...?

Nope...PF is a button on the radio. If I could explain it, I wouldn't need to ask how to explain changing the power. Oh well, thanks!! Bob...

"PF" means programmable function. User preferred functions (or favorite settings), are programmed using the "PF" button.

Yes. You are 100% correct. What I don't remember is how I would be able to change the PF button to a lower wattage than the 100 watts I now have. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. Bob...

Take a look at Function 67. It may be what you're looking for.

Hello Gary...

Yes. That's the Function exactly. What I need is how to change the wattage I now have on the PF to a lower wattage. I just forgot how to do this. Duh...but I just haven't found the correct directions in?

the manual. Thanks for your help. Bob...?

On page 44 of the "Kenwood In-Depth TS-480 series" user manual, you can find the "Voice Guide" setup and functions (including TX output, PF). Do you have this manual?
