An Important Word About Power Levels
The AT-7000 is rated at 125 watts maximum power input at most. Many ham transmitters and
transceivers, and virtually all amplifiers, output well over 125 watts. Power levels significantly
exceeding specifications will definitely damage or destroy your AT-7000. If your tuner fails
during overload, it could damage your transmitter or transceiver. Be sure to observe the specified
power limitations.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
Never install antennas or transmission lines over or near
power lines. You can be seriousl
