Antenna Matching
(a way to start)
- Set the Mode switch to “Manual”
- Starting in the 14 MHz band
- Turn the Memory selection rotary switch to the indicated memory
location “14000 +30k”
- Set the transmitter frequency to 14015 kHz (half the span of the memory location).
Do not exceed a power level of 200 Watts.
Note!
Damage to the Tuner caused by RF over voltage is not covered by the warranty!
- Begin with TRX control set to 15 and the ANT control set to 10
1. - Turn the L knob until you note a (possibly weak) movement of the SWR meter’s
needle in the Reflected position
2. - Try to maximize the forward power with the ANT control knob, the reflected power
may increase as well.
3. - Try to keep the forward power at its maximum by tuning the TRX and ANT
controls so that the reflected power is minimum
4. - Store the final values by pressing the momentary switch position “Mem In”
- Keeping the same values found, switch to the next memory location (14030+30k, set
you transmitter to 14045 kHz (center frequency). Watch your SWR Meter; if little or no
change can be found, store this value in memory. If changes are necessary, follow steps
1 thru 4. Go though all memory locations on this band and correct and store the settings.
- Go to an next band and proceed as before. It is a good idea to start with a setting found
in the previous band.
NOTE
During SSB operation, the frequency counter may detect the wrong frequency due to the
speech frequencies impressed on the signal. This will cause incorrect tuner settings to be
selected. Simply place the tuner in manual and select the correct frequency range on the
display.
