How to set Transmit Limit

[slapshot0017]

How do you set the transmit power limit on a Kenwood NX 700? The dealer told me to set it using test mode but I feel like that does nothing. If that is the way to do it can someone explain how its done? Also if its done another way could someone help in explaining how to go about doing so?

Transmit Limit? Are you referring to a time out timer, receive only, or something else?

I'm sorry I mean't the Transmit Power Limit.

So, are you trying to decrease the transmitter power output?

You can do this on a channel by channel basis with the programming software. Doing it radio wide can be done, but you really should do it while on a service monitor as some radios can start to get a little weird if you lower the power too much.

When you program the radio, just set the channels to low power, that's much easier.

I know that I mean that right now the Low Power Transmit limit is set for around 3 watts from the factory... The High Power Transmit Limit is set for about 28 watts. I want to be able to take the Low Power Transmit Limit and set it to be 10 watts radio wide so that every channel that is programmed to have low power will transmit at 10 watts.

OK, got it. I'll PM you.
