11. INITIAL OPERATION OF THE AMPLIFIER
Before turning ON the amplifier, read this manual with care.
The following preliminary operations are necessary:
1) Be sure that the mains voltage is within the proper range of the amplifier’s
power supply requirements.
2) Connect the amplifier to a good ground circuit.
3) Connect the antennas.
4) Connect the amplifier to the transceiver (read the “CONNECTIONS WITH
THE TRANSCEIVER” chapter of this manual).
Operate [I] the main switch on the back panel, and press the [ON] key on the front
panel.
Select the INPUT for the transceiver, and always perform programming with the
amplifier in STANDBY. If you change memory BANK you have to repeat this
programming.
Note: You may have to repeat some programming if you change antenna, transceiver, etc.
Note: ATTENTION: The ‘RELAY’ and ‘CAT’ signals in some types of transceivers are only
turned ON from a transceiver MENU. Refer to the user manual.
Note: ATTENTION: When the amplifier is in the ‘STANDBY’ and ‘OPERATE’ modes, always
disable the transceiver’s autotuner.
11.1 Initial Programming
You must carry out the next steps in the sequence below:
a) To Set Antennas:
Press [SET] and open the “ANTENNA“ menu page.
Assign an appropriate antenna for the desired band. If you don’t have an
antenna for that band, input “NO“.
When all the antennas are programmed, press [SET] to exit and go back to
STANDBY.
b) to Set CAT:
Press [SET] and enter the “CAT“ menu page.
Select the transceiver brand and progress with programming according to
the type of connection between the amplifier and the transceiver (read
the “CONNECTIONS” chapter of this manual).
At the end of programming, exit and go back into STANDBY.
To verify the correctness of your programming, press the [CAT] key, and all
the data stored will appear on the display.
To verify the proper “CAT” operation, press [SET] and select “MANUAL TUNE”.
When moving your transceiver’s VFO you should see the same frequency on the
display.
If set to "None", then transmitting briefly in RTTY or continuous key-down CW, will allow
you to read the transmitted frequency on the display.
Then return to the STANDBY mode.
