3.2 Interconnection with NON Expert Amplifiers.
With reference to the previous diagram:
1. Connect the transceiver output to the XMTR connector.
2. Connect the ANTENNA connector to the antenna in use.
3. Connect the amplifier inputs with the SPLITTER out 1 and out 2 connectors.
WARNING:
it is absolutely necessary that the two cables are of exactly equal lengths
and are of the same make and model.
4. Connect the amplifier outputs to the COMBINER connectors 1 and 2.
WARNING:
it is absolutely necessary that the two cables are of exactly equal lengths
and are of the same make and model.
Use cables that are suitable for adequately handling the power involved.
The GND and 13.8 V DC connections must also be made.
The "PORT IN" and "PORT OUT" connectors must not be used.
ATTENTION:
When using non-Expert amplifiers, it is recommended that the two
amplifiers are set so that they generate the most equal power out.
This can be achieved by minimizing the indication of the LED bar of the power
dissipated in the balancing resistor (800 W max.).
It would be a good idea to separately tune each amplifier to the antenna, and then
connect it to the Combiner.
