Note:
The noise level is an 8-bit value with a range of 0 to 255 from the noise level detector as
read into the µcontroller through an A/D input.
While viewing the frequency display, use the large and small knobs to select an unused local
frequency. Toggle this frequency to the active channel. Press and hold the MONbutton for about
3 seconds to reach the System Functions. Use the large knob to select the NOISE function and
view the receive noise level of the selected frequency. The value will change constantly, and has
a range between 0 and 255. On the service bench with the antenna port of the transceiver
connected to a dummy load, NOISE should be between 100 and 125. If the transceiver is
connected to the aircraft antenna and there is no carrier on the channel, expect the reading to be
the same or slightly higher. To confirm that there is no carrier on the monitored channel, pull the
squelch knob and listen.
