Antenna Tuner.
Pressing this button momentarily places the antenna
tuner in line between the transmitter final amplifier and
the antenna jack (The “

the display). Reception is not affected.
Pressing and holding in this button for two seconds,
while receiving in an amateur band, activates the trans-
mitter for a few seconds while the automatic antenna
tuner rematches the antenna system impedance for
minimum SWR. The resulting setting is automatically
stored in one of the antenna tuner’s 100 memories, for
instant automatic recall later when the receiver is tuned
near the same frequency.
Pressing this button momentarily, while the Tuner is
engaged, will take the Automatic Antenna tuner out of
the transmit line.
