Connecting Your Amplifier
• Connect the RF output of your transceiver to the RF Input connector on the rear of the HF-
2500 EXPORT with 50 Ohm coaxial cable.
• Connect the existing station antenna tuner or a Wattmeter and dummy load to the RF Output
connector on the HF-2500 EXPORT with RG-8 or better coaxial cable.
• Connect the Keyline jack on the rear of the HF-2500 EXPORT to the normally open terminal
of the relay jack on your transceiver. The Key jack on the HF-2500 EXPORT has positive 5
VDC open circuit and requires the sinking of 15 mA of current when pulled to ground.
• Connect as short a ground lead as possible from a good RF ground to the Ground Post on
the HF-2500 EXPORT.
• Connect the ALC phono jack to the ALC connection on your transceiver using a shielded
cable. Consult your transceiver manual for proper ALC connection details.
