Automatic Antenna Tuner
The built in automatic antenna tuner will match the output through a 50 ohm line if
the SWR of the antenna without the tuner is 3:1 or less. The antenna tuner is
toggled on or off by pressing the “TUNE
○
” button located just below the right
edge of the display. When the tuner is on, the word TUNER is displayed just above
the start of the frequency display.
To operate the automatic antenna tuner, t-press the “TUNE
○
” button for one
second. The TX will light up during the operation and you might hear the tuner operation
for a couple of second. If the operation fails (usually because of excessive SWR), the
antenna symbol at the start of the diagram on the display will flash until the tuner is
either turned off or run successfully.

Memory Content
All of the configuration data specific to a single channel is known as the VFO setup data. Absent from
this data are the current functional status such as transmit or the transceiver state such as menu. The
contents are described in Table 8.
The state of the clarifier (CLAR) is also maintained between working and band memories, but not in the
channel meories. A VFO setup does not include the position of any knobs. In addition it does not include
the state of TUNER, BUSY, TX, KEYER, VOX, BK-IN, P.BACK, FAST, LOCK, MENU, SPLIT, and
