After you have opened a VHF power amplifier to make internal tuning adjustments, what should you do before you turn the amplifier on?
-
Make sure that the power interlock switch is bypassed so you can test the amplifier
-
Correct AnswerBe certain all amplifier shielding is fastened in place
-
Be certain no antenna is attached so that you will not cause any interference
-
Remove all amplifier shielding to ensure maximum cooling
