10 ANTENNA TUNER OPERATION■Antenna connection and selection

ANT

The IC-7700 has 4 antenna connectors for the HF/50 MHz bands, [ANT1], [ANT2], [ANT3], and [ANT4].

For each operating band the IC-7700 covers, there is a band memory which can memorize the selected an- tenna. When you change the operating frequency outside of a band, the previously used antenna is automatically selected (see below) for the new band. This function allows automatic switching of 4 separate antennas for HF and 50 MHz bands operation.

• Antenna selection mode: “Auto”

3.5/7 MHz	21/28 MHz	50 MHz	RX
bands	bands	bands	only

ANT 1	ANT 4
ANT 2	ANT 3

• Antenna selection mode: “Manual”

ANT

After an antenna has been selected for use (by pushing [ANT] (MF1)), the antenna is automatically selected whenever that band is used.

[EXAMPLE]: a 3.5/7 MHz antenna is connected to [ANT1], a 21/28 MHz antenna is connected to [ANT2], a 50 MHz antenna is connected to [ANT3]. When the antenna selector function is set to “Auto,” an antenna is automatically selected when changing bands.

A receive-only antenna can be specified for [ANT4].

When “Manual” is selected, you can use the all antenna connectors, [ANT1] [ANT2], [ANT3] and [ANT4], however, band memory does not function. In this case you must select an antenna manually.

• Antenna selection mode: “OFF”

In this case, only [ANT1] antenna connector can be used. [ANT] (MF1) switch does not function.
