b. Press the MENU key to go to the TC Jam Mode. Make sure that it’s set to Auto-Load.
c. Press the MENU key to go to the TC Source. Set it to IFB (RF) so that the TRX is receiving TC wirelessly

hit record on the Nomad, and you should be able to control the gain and change the frequency of the
transmitter.
