Unpacking

 

 

Carefully remove the AT2KD 
from the shipping carton and 
inspect it for signs of damage. If 
any damage is apparent, notify 
the transportation carrier or 
dealer immediately. 

We recom-

mend keeping the packing 
carton for moving, storing or 
reshipping the tuner to us for 
repair if required.

 

 

 
Location

 

 

Select a location for the AT2KD 
that allows the connectors to be 
free from any operator contact 
during operation.

 

 
Installation Procedures

 

 

Connect a coax cable from your 
transmitter to the RF INPUT 
connector on the rear panel. 
Keep the cable as short as pos-
sible. If you use a linear ampli-
fier, connect your transmitter to 
the linear amplifier input and the 
linear amplifier output to the 
AT2KD. 

Do not use more than 

1500 Watts average (single 
tone) through the tuner. 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Connect coax cable(s) from  

your antenna to COAX 1 or 
COAX 2 connectors on the rear 
panel. These connectors are 
either direct from the transmitter  
or through the tuned circuit de-
pending on the setting of the 
DIRECT/TUNED mode switch 
on the front panel. 
 

 

Connect a dummy load to the 
BYPASS connector using a  
coax cable. This lets you select 
the dummy load from the  
DIRECT/TUNED mode switch. 
Any antenna that does not re-
quire the use of an antenna 
tuner may be connected to the 
BYPASS connector, if desired.
