Wattmeter  Scale:

  The  Power  LED  bargraph  displays  either  0  to  12.5  watts or 0 to 125 watts 

full  scale.  To  toggle  between  these  two  scales,  press 

Func  ->  L  Up

.  The  LED  marked  “10”  or 

“100”  will  light  momentarily  to indicate  the  newly  selected  scale. 

 

Automatic  Tuning  Mode:

  The  AT-100ProII  may  be  set  for  either  semi-automatic  tuning  or 

fully  automatic  tuning.  In  semi-automatic  tuning  mode,  a  tuning  cycle  will  not  begin  unless 
specifically  requested  by  pressing  the 

Tune

  button.  In  fully  automatic  tuning  mode,  a  tuning 

cycle  will  begin  any  time  there  is  RF  present  and  the  SWR  exceeds  a  pre-set  level.  The  default 
setting  is fully  automatic  tuning  mode.  

To  toggle  between  semi-  and  fully  automatic  modes,  press 

Func  ->  C  Dn

.  The  LED  display 

will  show  one of the  two patterns  to indicate  which  mode has  been selected: 

Automatic  Tune  SWR  Threshold:

  When  the  AT-100ProII  is  in  fully  automatic  tuning 

mode,  an  automatic  tuning  cycle  will  begin  any  time  RF  is  present  and  the  SWR  has  exceeded  a 
set  threshold.  This  threshold  is  user-programmable  to  any  value  between  1.1:1  and  3.5:1.  To  set 
the  automatic  tune  SWR  threshold,  press 

Func  ->  L  Dn

  repeatedly  (press 

Func, 

then 

L  Dn; 

Func, 

then 

L  Dn, 

and  so  on...)  to  cycle  through  all  the  options.  The  SWR  threshold  will  be 

displayed  on the  SWR scale  momentarily.   

The  default  value  of  SWR  threshold  is  2.0:1.  The  following  example  shows  setting  the  SWR 

threshold  to 1.7:1.
