■ Terminal information
Consider the following points when using a non-Icom
transceiver. Start voltage [STAR]
When a start voltage (less than 1 V) is received, the
AT-140 begins automatic tuning.
Key voltage [KEY]
During automatic tuning, the AT-140 grounds the key
voltage line, and the HF transceiver reduces output
power.
If the key voltage is more than 8 V, switch the mode
switch (S1) to OFF mode (lower position).
