DU 3000 Antenna Tuner 

Notes 

 

1.  An SWR or 1:1 is best, but an SWR as high as 2:1 may be acceptable. Check 

you transmitter manual for details. 

 

2.  If you can

’t get an acceptable SWR, lengthen or shorten you antenna and/or 

feedlines and retune. 

 

3.  If you get low SWR readings at more than one setting, use the setting that: 

 

  Gives the highest FORWARD power reading. 

 

  Gives the lowest REFLECTED power reading. 

 

  Uses the largest capacitance (highest number) on the TRANSMITTER and 

ANTENNA controls. 

 

4.  Any time a new or different antenna is connected, it is necessary to repeat the 

tuning procedure for each antenna.
