HC-1500AT
3
4-1. Equipment Needed for an Operation
A. DC Power Supply
DC12V (11 – 14V), 2A (negative ground)
B. Coax Cable
RG8U or higher grade is recommended. RG8X and similar small diameter coax is not
recommended.
C. Transceiver
HF/50MHz radio that delivers at least 50W of output power, that drivers the tuner directly
when tuning. The radio with output power reduction feature is preferred when there is high
reflected power.
D. Linear Amp
The Linear amp of 1 to 1.5kW output with ALC feedback is preferred. Avoid the one with
over-shoot/ spiking.
E. Antenna
Antenna should have power handling capacity of 1,500W or more, and relatively low SWR.
Even if the high SWR is lowered with the tuner, it will make the coax cables heated, and
cause interferences around the vicinity.
F. Band Cable
Band cables for the respective radios are available as optional parts for the smooth and
comfortable operation. Please note that full break-in CW is not available when the band data
cable is not used.
(See 11, Connection/ Operation. Page 14 – 19.)
G. ISO Screw Bolts
This tuner uses ISO std. screws.
