DESCRIPTION
q 8 V
Regulated 8 V output.
(10 mA max.)
w GND
Connects to ground.
e SEND
Input/output pin.
Goes to ground when transmitting (20 mA
max). When grounded, transmits.
r BAND
Band voltage output.
(Varies with amateur band; 0 to 8.0 V).
t ALC
ALC output voltage (–4 to 0 V).
y NC
No connection.
u 13.8V
13.8 V output when power is ON (1 A max).

Operation
S1
A
(default)
The tuner operating condition is set by S2
described below.
B
THROUGH INHIBIT
The tuner tunes the antenna even when the
antenna has poor SWR (up to VSWR 3:1
after tuning). In this case, manual tuning is
necessary each time you change the fre-
quency although the tuner automatically
starts tuning when the VSWR is higher than
3:1. This setting is called “through inhibit,”
however, the tuner is set to “through” if the
VSWR is higher than 3:1 after tuning.
S2
C
TUNER SENSITIVE CONDITION
The tuner tunes each time you transmit (ex-
cept SSB mode). Therefore, the lowest
SWR is obtained at any given time.
For SSB mode, the same condition as the
“D” position.
D
(default)
NORMAL CONDITION
The tuner tunes when the SWR is higher
than 1.5:1. Therefore, the tuner activates
only when tuning is necessary.
