impedance to the
FT-991A
s ANT jack.
Before operation can begin, the
FT-991A

note:
Be sure to connect a good earth ground to the GND
terminal of the
FC-40
.
The carrier signal transmits continuously while
tuning is in progress. Please monitor the operating
frequency before beginning the tuning process. Be
sure you are not interfering with others who may
already be using the frequency.
It is normal to hear the sound of the relays while
tuning is in progress.
If the impedance cannot be matched by the
FC-40
better than 2:1, and the
HI-SWR
icon blinks, the
microprocessor will not retain the tuning data for that
frequency, as the
FC-40
presumes that you will want
to adjust or repair your antenna system to correct the
high SWR condition.
