2.5 INITIAL TURN-ON/TUNING
PROCEDURE
The tuning procedure is divided into three
stages:
1. Initial setting of L tuning taps
2. Determining antenna resistance
3. Final setting of L and R tuning taps
Check the top of each of the following
pages to determine the stage number and
other applicable information.
(a) Determine the approximate loading coil
inductance by entering the data
recorded for operating frequency (see.
2.2.6.1) and antenna capacitance (see.
2.2.6.2) into Table 2-2.
(b) Enter the inductance from step (a) into
the appropriate Table 2-6 (a-f), noting
the application and inductance range
for each. Determine the initial loading
coil tap settings. If the inductance was
not determined, use the shaded value
in the appropriate series
connection
table (e.g., 215
μ
H in Table 2-6a).
(c) Tap the loading coils L1A and L1B for
the settings determined in step (b).
See the appropriate Figure 2-12 (a-f)
for examples.
WARNING
Use extreme caution near the tuning
coils. Extremely high RF voltages, that
may arc many inches of air breakdown
path
and cause severe RF burns, are
present when an RF input of any level
is applied to the ATU-HP.
CAUTION
Wires connecting to tuning coil taps must
be dressed in a manner that will prevent
them from coming in contact with any part
of the coils other than the tap connecting
points. Arcing that may result in damage
to the coils and/or loss of tuning may
occur.
