AT-180 internal switch description
The optional AT-180 has 3 operating configurations
for HF band operation. Select a suitable configura-
tions according to your antenna system.
q
Remove the top cover of the AT-180.
w
Set the tuner switches to the desired positions ac-
cording to the table below.
SW Position
Operation
S1
A
(default)
The tuner operating condition is set by
S2 described below.
B
THROUGH INHIBIT
The tuner tunes the antenna even when
the antenna has poor SWR
(up to VSWR
3:1 after tuning)
. In this case, manual tun-
ing is necessary each time you change
the frequency although the tuner auto-
matically starts tuning when the VSWR
is higher than 3:1. This setting is called
“
through inhibit,
” however, the tuner is
set to “
through
” if the VSWR is higher
than 3:1 after tuning.
S2
C
TUNER SENSITIVE CONDITION
The tuner tunes each time you transmit
(except SSB mode)
. Therefore, the lowest
SWR is obtained at any given time.
For SSB mode, the same condition as
the “D” position.
D
(default)
NORMAL
The tuner tunes when the SWR is higher
than 1.5:1. Therefore, the tuner activates
only when tuning
is necessary.
