6. POWER ON The IN position provides power for the
Peak and Peak Hold metering circuit, relay and
meter illumination.
7. INDUCTOR 28 µH continuously variable ceramic
roller inductor driven by a crank handle. Coupled to
the crank handle is a gear-driven precision me-
chanical counter. (Max.= 0; Min. = 229)
8. OUTPUT Continuously adjustable output capacitor.
Min. capacitance=0. Max capacitance = 100.
9. DIRECT-TUNED MODE SWITCH Six-position rotary
switch selects an output coaxial connector.
a. DIRECT BYPASS selects BYPASS COAX connec-
tor bypassing the impedance matching circuit but
providing SWR, FORWARD and REFLECTED
power meter readings.
b. DIRECT COAX 1 selects COAX 1 connector by-
passing the tuner matching circuit but providing
SWR, FORWARD and REFLECTED meter read-
ings.
c. DIRECT COAX 2 selects COAX 2 connector by-
passing the tuner matching circuit but providing
SWR, FORWARD and REFLECTED meter read-
ings.
d. TUNED COAX 1 selects COAX 1 connector
through the impedance matching T circuit.
e. TUNED COAX 2 selects COAX 2 connector
through the impedance matching T circuit.
f. TUNED BAL selects the END FED WIRE connec-
tor through the impedance matching circuit. For
balanced antennas, the balanced coax switch (5)
must be IN.
10. INPUT Continuously adjustable input capacitor.
Min. capacitance = 0. Max = 100.
