INSTALLATION
The D-1010-ATVN may be mounted using the brackets (supplied when request is
returned via warranty card) or simply placed in a convenient operating position. The D-
1010-ATVN must have adequate ventilation for the finned heat-sink. Use #8 or larger
wire to connect the D-1010-ATVN to the battery is recommended. RG-8U, or the
equivalent, should be used between the D-1010-ATVN and the antenna. The antenna
should be matched to better than 1.5:1 for best performance. SWR greater than 3:1 may
cause damage to the amplifier voiding and warranty.
FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS
POWER ON/OFF..............................This switch turns the power amplifier ON and OFF.
SSB/FM.............................................Selects the relay time-delay for the mode of
operation. In either the SSB or FM position, the
amplifier is still biased for linear operation.
LED (Power/On) ............................... This LED will go out if the amplifier overheats. It
will come back on when the amplifier cools.
