To key radio/amp to auto tune:
There are two options to auto-tune the HC-1.5KAT.
A is the safest method not to damage the amp or tuner in any case.
B is the easier way but “Reflected Power Prot” of linear amp may trip occasionally.
A. Switch the amplifier to STBY (Stand-By) position. Starting from Operation Mode,
drive a carrier (CW) voice/SSB signal of approximately 50 W (80 W max.), and
the tuning will start automatically. See Fig10. Tuning will be finished within a
second or so in most cases. LCD displays Fig11. At this point, you may adjust
RF Power level of your radio to fully drive the amplifier.
