IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION
PLEASE READ PRIOR TO OPERATION
Your Raptor is equipped with Magnum's exclusive "Dual Power" system for ease of switching between Hi power and Low power. The low power setting is for close proximity radio contacts
or when running an external amplifier. For low power, simply place both controls to the down or LOW
position. It is critical to keep the AM transmitter’s peak to average ratio correct in order to prevent your signal
from being compressed or distorted and that is the reason for 2 controls, insuring the correct peak to average
ratio at all times.
*FOR HIGH RF PERFORMANCE OPERATION it is suggested to set the CARRIER switch to LOW and the PEAK
switch to the HIGH position. This will give your signal that extra punch that is sometimes needed in order to
get through the QRM.
*Do not operate the radio with the PEAK switch set in the LOW position and the CARRIER set in the HIGH
position, your signal will be compressed and distorted.
*On the Raptor II the AM/FM carrier is factory preset at 2-3 watts on LOW setting and 18 watts on HIGH setting. DO NOT SET
CARRIER HIGHER THAN 18 WATTS, IT WILL DESTROY THE RF AMPLIFIER AND WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES!
