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 memorizes the selected antenna. 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 band only ANT 1 ANT 4 ANT 2 ANT 3 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]. • Antenna selection mode: "Manual" ANT 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. 10-2
