SET-UP MODE
The following provides a description of each menu item found in the Set-Up
menu screens of a tuner with release 1.29 installed. Select SETUP using the
MODE button.
Operation: push the tuning knob to step through the menu items. When a
menu item is selected use either the left or right arrow buttons to select
option. In the case of dening a digital value, rotate the tuning knob to make
selections.
RANGE: 100/250/1000/2500
This sets the bar graph full scale display range for the RF output bar graph in
the main display.
TUNING LEVEL: In Auto mode, if the SWR is above this level the tuner will
retune for the lowest possible SWR. Palstar recommends 1.50.
Other settings for Tuning Level are Retune Delay and Delay Tune SWR.
BACKLIGHT: 1/2
Display window backlight setting #1 is dim, and #2 is bright.
PWR UP MODE: Auto/Manual/Bypass
This sets the mode the tuner will be in when it is turned on.
STEP SPEED: High/Med/Low
Determines the speed the stepper motors will operate at when searching for
a match or memorized set of C & L settings. Palstar recommends HIGH.
AUTO STORE: ON/OFF
l When ON the unit will store new L & C settings after a good
SWR value has been found; (AUTO MODE).
l When OFF the unit will not automatically store new L & C
settings.
l The manual storing of the L & C position settings can still be
done independent of this selection.
l Has no default - should be checked after updating the unit’s
software.
DELAY TUNE SWR: ON/OFF
The OFF setting causes the tuner to operate the same as it did
before version 1.23.
l When OFF the SWR will be checked prior to moving the L & C
positions. This can reduce the movement of the stepper motors
when accessing two frequencies that are close.
l When ON the L & C positions will be recalled and set prior to
checking the SWR to see if it exceeds the TUNING LEVEL. This
will allow the unit to position to the last saved position for that
frequency, thus, possibly obtaining a slightly better SWR value.
