2. In the
Antenna Form (38)
choose
Simple
complexity level and set
RX1
to
ANT1
(see page
149 for more on the Antenna Form). Connect a 50 ohm dummy load to the ANT 1 antenna
jack, or tune
VFO A (1)
to a quiet frequency on the selected band. Use the
TUN
(19)
button
to verify power output on the
TX Meter (4)
(Set to
Fwd Pwr
). If using the optional,
integrated ATU, select
Automatic
on the
ATU Form
(39)
and then click the
TUN
(19)
button. See the section on the
ATU Form
on page 153 for more on how to use the ATU.
CAUTION:
If not using the ATU and not using a 50 ohm dummy load, ensure the
antenna presents a 50 ohm load with a low SWR or damage may
occur to the SDR output transistor.
