This is the ON/OFF switch for the FTDX10 Auto-
matic Antenna Tuner.
Press the [TUNE] key briefly to activate the antenna
tuner. Press the [TUNE] key briefly again to disable
the antenna tuner.
Press the [TUNE] key for about 1 second to start
"automatic tuning".

cally during automatic tuning, make sure to
connect an antenna or dummy load before
tuning up.
When the antenna or dummy load does not
match the impedance, "HI-SWR" will appear
on the touch panel.

mit-receive delay after the cessation of speech)
may also be adjusted.

1. Press the [FUNC] knob.
2. Touch [VOX DELAY] .
3. Rotate the [FUNC] knob while saying a brief syl-
lable like "Ah" and listening to the hang time for
the desired delay.
