NAME
DESCRIPTION
➀ 8 V
Regulated 8 V output.
(10 mA max.)
➁ GND
Connects to ground.
➂ SEND
Input/output pin.
Goes to ground when transmitting (20 mA
max). When grounded, transmits.
➃ BAND
Band voltage output.
(Varies with amateur band; 0 to 8.0 V).
➄ ALC
ALC output voltage (–4 to 0 V).
➅ NC
No connection.
➆ 13.8V
13.8 V output when power is ON (1 A max).
SW Position 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 tun-
ing is necessary each time you change the
frequency 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
(except SSB mode). Therefore, the lowest
SWR is obtained at any given time.
For SSB mode, the same condition is as
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.
the “D” position below.
