Page 24 FT-950 OPERATING MANUAL
PROC
This indicator appears whenever the DSP Speech Pro-
cessor is activated.
MONI
This indicator appears whenever the transmit monitor
circuit is activated.
KEYER
This indicator appears whenever the internal CW keyer
is activated.
BK-IN
This indicator appears whenever CW break-in opera-
tion is activated.
NB
This indicator appears when the receiver’s “short-du-
ration” Noise Blanker is activated.
This indicator will blink for three seconds, and there-
after appears continuously, when the receiver’s “longer
pulse” Noise Blanker is activated.
NAR
This indicator appears whenever the receiver’s narrow
IF DSP filter is engaged.
S/PO
On receive, this indicates the received signal strength,
from S-0 to S-9+60dB on receiving.
On transmit, it indicates the RF Power Output, from 0
to 150 Watts on transmit.

TUNER
This indicator appears when the internal Automatic An-
tenna Tuner is activated.
HI-SWR
This indicator appears if the directional coupler and
microprocessor detect an abnormally high SWR con-
dition (over 3.0:1) that cannot be resolved by the Au-
tomatic Antenna Tuner.
NOTE:
If this indicator appears, check to be sure that you have
the correct antenna selected for the current operating
band. Also check the condition of the antenna, the co-
axial cable, and/or the connectors on the cable, to lo-
cate and correct the fault.
MIC EQ
This indicator appears whenever the Three-Band Para-
metric Microphone Equalizer is activated via the Menu.
REC
This indicator appears while the optional Voice
Memory Unit is recording your voice message, or the
Contest Keyer is recording your CW keying.
PLAY
This indicator appears while the optional Voice
Memory Unit is playing back the recorded voice mes-
sage, or the recorded Contest CW keying.
