R-2014D(R-2001D) Low Generator Output?

[jistabout]

Hi everyone!

I did a forum search for this before posting, no luck. My recently acquired Motorola R-2014D service monitor has low output in generator mode. Max output is -17 dbm or thereabouts according to the screen readout. Should be more like +13 to + 15 dbm I think.

Since I don't yet have any manuals, Thought I'd ask here. Thoughts apprecieted, and thank you in advance.

Sounds like you are using the RF I/O port. Pull on the variable RF control and it will switch you to the antenna port which gives you a max of +13 dBm. The RF I/O port is 30 dBm lower.

Dave, you were right on the nose. Thank you! Not sure I understand why it was done that way though.....
