Morse Code and Beeps
If not enough power is applied for tuning (less than two watts), “QRO” (dah-dah-di-dah di-dah-dit dah-
dah-dah) will be sent on CW. Increasing the input power above two watts ends this message.
When input power is too high, the tuner enters a self-protection mode. The tuner will not allow any of its
relays to change. This feature is to prevent damage to your tuner.
If too much power is applied when tuning, the tuner will cease the tuning routine and send “QRP” (dah-
dah-di-dah di-dah-dit di-dah-dah-dit) on CW. This occurs when the forward power exceeds 75 watts and
the SWR is greater than 3.0, or when the forward power exceeds 125 watts regardless of the SWR.
If more than 200 watts is applied to the tuner, the tuner will go into bypass mode and send “QRT” (dah-
dah-di-dah di-dah-dit dah) on CW.
If the tuning process is activated under these conditions, the tuner will not start the tuning. It will send
the appropriate code on CW.
The following table shows the various tuner beeps:

Foldback Circuit
Modern transceivers with solid-state finals usually have a foldback circuit to protect the final transistors
from high SWR, which can damage or destroy them. A foldback circuit detects the SWR during transmit
and reduces the output power as the SWR rises above a preset threshold, usually 2:1. The higher the
SWR the lower the power is set to prevent damage.
If your transceiver has a foldback circuit, you can simply key down and tune at any power level from 2 to
100 watts. If your transceiver does not have a foldback circuit, you must manually set the power level to
20 watts or less for tuning. At higher power levels, the reflected power occurred during tuning can
damage your transceiver and causes component arcing which can damage the relays in the tuner.
Check your transceiver owner's manual to see if yours has a foldback circuit.
