Tuning, Installation and Connections 

 

 

1.

 

C13.5V supply to the 11-54 but leave the PTT connection unconnected. 
 

2.

 

Connect the 11-54 input to a 4W driving device and the output to a power meter or 
aerial. 

 

3.

 

With 4 Watts input drive, tune CV1 and CV2 for maximum output using a plastic, metal 
tipped flat bladed screwdriver. 

 

4.

 

Alternatively, with 400mW minimum input drive, ground the PTT connection and tune 
CV1 & CV2 for maximum output to give 10 Watts typical output. The PTT connection can 
sometimes be connected straight to the driving device PTT but a steering diode may be 
needed in series with the driver PTT if it returns to a voltage lower than +13.5V. 

 

5.

 

Tuning can be effected through the two holes in the top of the case by removing the 
plastic plugs.
