Front Panel Description
This section describes the front panel controls and ports of the SG-500. These are described from left to
right.
Refer to the drawing above when reviewing the following descriptions.
6.1
RF OUT & RF IN Jacks
Connect your station antenna, coupling or tuning device, or manual matching network to the RF
OUT jack, and the coax jumper from the exciter (transceiver) to the RF IN jack.
Warning: Do not operate the SG-500 without an antenna or suitable dummy load connected. If
you are uncertain of the antenna being used, test it at low power before applying 500 Watts to it.
The SG-500 test VSWR before bringing the amplifier online. A high VSWR may prevent
amplifier operation.

This powers the SG-500 on/off. When the power switch is in the off position, the amplifier is
bypassed, allowing ‘barefoot’ operation.
