6.3.4 Interfacing with Other Amplifiers
YoucanconnectmostHF+6mamplifierstoaTunerGeniusXL.However,forSO2Rswitchingmodels,each
amplifiermustbeexclusivelyconnectedtooneofthetunerTXports(AorB).Thougheachporthasmultiple
interfacestoreceivebanddataandPTTthetuner,theSO2Rversionwillwork
withtwoamplifiers,andthe1x3
versiondoesnotsupportinputsfrommorethanoneamplifier.
ThetunerrequiresbothbanddataandaPTTlinewhenusingamplifiers.
6.3.4.1 PTT
PTTiseasytoprovide,generallyrequiringasingletwo‐conductorcable.However,almostallamplifiersrequire
excitersthatdrivethemtodelayemittingRFuntiltheamplifierisreadytoamplifyit.TheTunergeniusalso
requiresashortdelayof<20msincaseswherethefrequencyusedalready
hasasolutionstoredinmemory.
Therefore,pleasetaketheTXandPTTdelayrequirementsoftheentireTXchainintoaccount.
6.3.4.2 Band and Frequency Data
Unlessyouareusingfrequencydetection,itisusuallytheresponsibilityoftheexcitertooriginatebandor
frequencydat atothecomponentsintheTXchainthatrequirethem.Therestrictiondescribedinsection
6.3.1.4,BandDataandFrequencyMeasurementbasedrestrictions,mayapply.
Ifanappropriatefrequencymemory
isnotstored,theSWRpresentedtotheamplifiermaybehigherthancan
safelybeused.Therefore,pleasetakeextracaretomakesureagoodtuningsolutionisactivebefore
transmitting,especiallywhenyouareQRO.
