16 OPTION UNITS SETTING

AT-180 internal switch description

The optional AT-180 has 3 operating conditions for HF band operation. Select a suitable condition according to your antenna system.

q Remove the top cover of the AT-180.

w Set the tuner switches to the desired positions ac- cording to the table below.

Operation

AThe tuner operating condition is set by S2 (default) described below.

 

 

THROUGH INHIBIT

 

 

The tuner tunes the antenna even when the

S1

 

antenna has poor SWR (up to VSWR 3:1

 

after tuning). In this case, manual tuning is

 

 

 

B

necessary each time you change the fre-

 

quency although the tuner automatically

 

 

 

 

starts tuning when the VSWR is higher than

 

 

3:1. This setting is called “through inhibit,

 

 

however, the tuner is set to “through” if the

 

 

VSWR is higher than 3:1 after tuning.

 

 

 

 

 

TUNER SENSITIVE CONDITION

 

 

The tuner tunes each time you transmit (ex-

 

C

cept SSB mode). Therefore, the lowest

 

SWR is obtained at any given time.

 

 

S2

 

For SSB mode, the same condition as the

 

“D” position.

 

 

NORMAL CONDITION

DThe tuner tunes when the SWR is higher (default) than 1.5:1. Therefore, the tuner activates

only when tuning is necessary.
