[1000mp] What is Wrong with SWR Meter?

Tue, 4 Jun 2002 13:17:30 -0400

Hello Yaesu Fans....

Try resetting the tuner memories, and see if your tuner will tune itself to
1:1....It may be too far off to produce a match from it's initial set
point.....You can reset the memories by depressing the two bottom outside
buttons on the keypad, and powering on the rig.....

With the tuner off, with low power in the CW mode, while sending a series of
dits, depress and hold the tuner button several times,  while observing the
SWR metering....

The SWR should drop back to 1:1, as the tuner matches your antenna.....

With the system matched, check the Power Output with your outboard meter,
and see how close they are at that time.....

If you can not achieve the match after reset, then you may have a problem
with the automatic antenna tuner.....

I find it is easier for the rig to match loads in CW than in SSB.....for
what ever reason.....

Happy DXing and 73,
