3. To calibrate the meter, have your helper select a channel
or frequency on your transmitter and hold down its trans-
mit key. Tell the helper
not
to speak into the microphone.
Then, while the helper holds down the transmit key, walk
around inside the marks you made using the steps in
“Preparing the Antenna Site” on Page 11, covering as
much area inside the circle as you can. As you walk,
watch the meter’s needle. If it moves to the right of 5 on
the FIELD STRENGTH scale, rotate the knob on the front
of the meter until the needle lines up with 5 on the scale.
Notes:
If you use a CB that has sideband modes (SSB), do not
select any of these modes. (Use only AM for field
strength measurements).
