Jumpstart, or “Real hams don’t read manuals!”
Ok, but at least read this one section before you transmit:
Safety Warning: Never operate your AT-1000Pro with the cover removed; lethal RF voltages
may be present during operation. Never exceed the rated specifications
.
1. Connect your AT-1000Pro to a source of 11 – 15-volt DC power capable of supplying at
least 1 Amp. Press the Power button to turn on the tuner (Power LED will be on).
2. Connect your amplifier output to the AT-1000Pro input socket labeled “Transmitter” using
50-ohm coaxial cables. Connect the coax lead to your antenna to the AT-1000Pro output
socket labeled “Ant 1”.
3. Select Ant 1 (Ant 1 LED will be on). Select Auto mode to be off (Auto LED will be off).
4. Set your amplifier to “Standby” mode so it will NOT operate when you transmit.
5. Transmit a carrier from your exciter
of about 30 watts CW, FM or AM.
6. Momentarily press the “Tune” button on your AT-1000Pro. An automatic tuning cycle will
begin, then stop. Check the meter to ensure an SWR of 2 or less before using your amplifier.
7. Turn your amplifier on; you’re ready to transmit.
