SWR Bridge Calibration
This is a factory calibration procedure only
In Case of Difficulty
If the tuner acts erratic, reset the tuner to factory defaults.
If the tuner fails to tune, please
double check
all connections and follow the tuning procedures again.
If the tuner arcs
at the rated power levels, please
double check
all connections and follow the tuning
procedures again. Ensure you are not exceeding the tuner’s rated power handling capability.
Note:
If the tuner arcs when operating on the 160-meter band, it may be necessary to reduce
transmitter output power.
If you are still unsuccessful, but the tuner does adjust and operate when used with a dummy load or
another antenna, please read “Grounding Hints” and “Antenna System Hints” on page 13.
