Hi Guys.....Something has been missed here.......Page 59 of the manual
says:
COAXIAL SWITCH (SW101)
<<<The coaxial switch will select any of four outputs to antenna
feedlines or
dummy loads. When this switch is in the BYPASS position, signals are
routed through
the sensor and directly out of the Tuner, BYPASSING the
tuner-load-matching
functions. All input signals, other than those routed to Bypass jack J7,
are routed
through the meter and the tuner circuits. Those routed to J7 will affect
only the meter circuits.
