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.

qRemove the top cover of the AT-180.

wSet the tuner switches to the desired positions ac-

cording to the table below.

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 tuning is
necessary each time you change the fre-
quency 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 (ex-
cept 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.
