[Heathkit] FW: Heathkit TUNER Question

[manualman at juno.com]

In the SA-2060A, there is also the instance if you want to "by-pass" the
tuner function without having to disconnect cables. The simple solution
that was proposed many years ago was to take two UHF right angle
adapters, connect the female of both to a UHF male to male adapter, and
the connect the male of one right angle adapter to "By-pass" and the
other male right angle adapter to "Coax 1". Now, if you place the the
switch to By-pass, whatever antenna is connected to Coax 1 is directly
connected through the SWR bridge directly to your rig. If you view the
schematic, this does impact any connection to Coax 2, balanced line, or
single wire line.
