ANTENNA TUNER OPERATION
7-2
About the internal antenna tuner
The internal automatic antenna tuner automatically
matches the transceiver to the antenna within the
range of 16.7 ~ 150 Ω (SWR of less than 1:3).
After the tuner matches an antenna, the latching relay
combinations are memorized as a preset point for
each frequency range (100 kHz steps). Therefore,
when you change the frequency range, the latching
relay combinations are automatically preset to the
memorized point for fast tuning.
L
When you install a new antenna, or you want to
change the antenna settings, you can clear the all
of the internal antenna tuner preset points with the
“<<Preset Memory Clear>>” item on the TUNER set
screen. (p. 8-3)
MENU
»
SET > Function > Tuner >
<<Preset Memory Clear>>
NOTE:
When the transceiver receives a strong
physical shock, the internal latching relays may be
returned to an unlatched condition. In that case,
push
TUNER
to turn OFF the tuner, then turn it ON
again to reset all latching relays.
