OPERATION
The AT-120, AT-130 or AH-4 matches the IC-78 to a
long wire antenna more than 7 m (23 ft) long (3.5 MHz
and above).
• See p. 11 for connection.
• See the connected antenna tuner’s instruction man-
ual for installation and antenna connection details.
• Setting example:
NEVER operate the AT-120, AT-130 or AH-4 without
an antenna wire. The tuner and transceiver will be
damaged.
NEVER operate the AT-120, AT-130 or AH-4 when it
is ungrounded.
Transmitting before tuning may damage the trans-
ceiver. Note that the AT-120, AT-130 or AH-4 cannot
tune when using a
1
2 λ long wire or multiple of the op-
erating frequency.
