PANEL DESCRIPTION

q

POWER SWITCH [POWER] (p. 11)
Push momentarily to turn power ON.

w

TRANSMIT INDICATOR [TRANSMIT] (p. 13)
Lights green while transmitting.

During transmission, a humming may sound de-
pending on the output power. This is caused by
the large current produced by the power supply
and does not indicate equipment malfunction.

e

ANTENNA TUNER INDICATOR [TUNER] (p. 13)
• Lights while the antenna tuner is activated.
• Blinks while tuning and the SWR becomes 1.5:1 or

greater on the 50 MHz band.

• Goes out after slow blinking when antenna turner

cannot tune the selected antenna (SWR 1.5:1 or
greater).

r

ANTENNA TUNER SWITCH [TUNER] (p. 14)
• Turns the antenna tuner ON and OFF (bypass)

when pushed momentarily.

- The [TUNER] indicator lights while the antenna tuner is

activated; blinks while tuning.

- While operating in the 50 MHz band, the antenna tuner

does not start automatically. Push [TUNER] for 2 sec.
to tune the antenna manually.

• Starts to tune the antenna manually when pushed

for 2 sec.

- When the tuner cannot tune the antenna (SWR 1.5:1

or greater), the tuning circuit is bypassed automatically
after 20 sec.

t

LINEAR AMPLIFIER SWITCH [AMP/PROTECT]
Turns the linear amplifier ON and OFF.

- The [AMP/PROTECT] indicator lights green when the

linear amplifier is ON. (p. 13)

- The [AMP/PROTECT] indicator lights red when the pro-

tector circuit is activated. (p. 14)

- When the linear amplifier is OFF, the [AMP/PROTECT]

does not light and the exciter’s signal is applied to one of
the output connectors or the IC-PW1’s antenna tuner.

y

LOWER BAND SELECTOR [DOWN] (p. 13)
Selects the lower operating band when pushed.

u

AUTOMATIC INDICATOR [AUTO] (p. 13)
Indicates that automatic band selection is activated.
(When an Icom CI-V transceiver is connected.)

i

BAND INDICATORS (p. 13)
Indicate the selected operating band.

o

UPPER BAND SELECTOR [UP] (p. 13)
Selects the higher operating band when pushed.

!0

OUTPUT ANTENNA SELECTOR [ANT] (p. 13)
Selects one of 4 output antenna connectors.

!1

INPUT ANTENNA SELECTOR [INPUT] (p. 13)
Selects one of 2 input antenna connectors.

!2

TRANSMIT METER-2 [METER-2]
Shows the final FET’s voltage (V

D

), SWR (Standing

Wave Ratio) or ALC (Automatic Level Control) level.

!3

TRANSMIT METER-2 SELECTOR
Selects the final FET’s voltage (V

D

), SWR (Stand-

ing Wave Ratio) or ALC (Automatic Level Control)
level for transmit meter-2.

!4

TRANSMIT METER-1 [METER-1]
Shows the RF output power (P

O

), final FET’s cur-

rent (I

D

) or heatsink temperature (TEMP).

!5

TRANSMIT METER-1 SELECTOR
Selects the RF output power (P

O

), final FET’s cur-

rent (I

D

) or heatsink temperature (TEMP) for trans-

mit meter-1.
