AT-180 internal switch description

The optional AT-180 has 3 operating conditions for
HF band operation. Select a suitable condition
according to your antenna system.

Remove the top cover of the AT-180.

Set the tuner switches to the desired positions
according to the table below.

DESCRIPTION

8 V

Regulated 8 V output.
(10 mA max.)

GND

Connects to ground.

SEND

Input/output pin.
Goes to ground when transmitting (20 mA
max). When grounded, transmits.

BAND

Band voltage output.
(Varies with amateur band; 0 to 8.0 V).

ALC

ALC output voltage (–4 to 0 V).

NC

No connection.

13.8V

13.8 V output when power is ON (1 A max).

Operation

S1

A

(default)

The tuner operating condition is set by S2
described below.

B

THROUGH INHIBIT

The tuner tunes the antenna even when
the antenna has poor SWR (up to VSWR
3:1 after tuning). In this case, manual tun-
ing is necessary each time you change the
frequency although the tuner automatically
starts tuning when the VSWR is higher
than 3:1. This setting is called “

through

inhibit,

” however, the tuner is set to

through

” if the VSWR is higher than 3:1

after tuning.

S2

C

TUNER SENSITIVE CONDITION

The tuner tunes each time you transmit
(except SSB mode). Therefore, the lowest
SWR is obtained at any given time.
For SSB mode, the same condition as the
“D” position.

D

(default)

NORMAL CONDITION

The tuner tunes when the SWR is higher
than 1.5:1. Therefore, the tuner activates
only when tuning is necessary.
