When connect the 100 watt transceiver and 200 watt transceivers to the
VL-2000
together, reduce the RF output
power of the 200 watt transceiver to 100 watt by the Menu Mode Item. For example above, set the maximum RF output
power level to “100 W” via menu item “
170 TGEN MAX PWR
” on the
FT
DX
5000
.
r
The ALC cable must be connected between the transceiver and
VL-2000
to prevent overdrive of the amplifier, and
especially to facilitate the proper operation of the protection circuitry if sudden antenna system problems should cause
the SWR to rise to dangerous levels.
r
Do not attempt to connect or disconnect coaxial antenna cables when your hands are wet.

When the
VL-2000
’s
POWER
switch is turned “off”, the exciter output is delivered as follows:
¦
INPUT 1
exciter: delivers to the
ANT 1
