XIEGU  COMMUNICATIONS 

Warning: 

1.  Do not allow the maximum output power of the amplifier to exceed 100 W. 

2.  Using the XPA125B at high power levels for extended periods can lead to 

overheating and potential damage to the PA stage. 

3.2.2 Band switching 

You can switch between the two modes of 

[AUTO-MANUAL] 

via this key. 

If you want to connect the XPA125B to  an X108G or X5105, 
please set XPA125B to 

[AUTO] 

mode. 

If  you  want  to  connect  the  XPA125B  to  other  devices, 
please  set  XPA125B  to 

[MANUAL] 

mode  and  manually 

switch to 

the desired frequency band. 

Manual switching of frequency bands follows this order

: 

160m

80m

60m

40m

30m

20m

17m

15m

12m

10m

6m 

3.2.3  Using the automatic antenna tuner unit 

[ATU] 

(PA unit is set to 

OFF

 

state). 

Press the 

[ATU] 

buttonso that the current state of the amplifier 

is 

[ON]

Set the transceiver mode to CW& set the output power to 5 W. 


Press the CW key to transmit, Press and hold the ATU button, the 
ATU unit will start tuning;

 


 

If tuning is successful,

 

The output standing wave value 

will be displayed stably. 
If tuningfails,

 

The output standing wave value will flash. 

If you need to re-tune, you can press the [ATU] button for two seconds to 
force the XPA125B ATU unit to start re-tuning. 
After successful tuning, switch the transceiver to the desired state for use.
