OPERATING HINTS
This section describes a few practical tips on using the KT-100 tuner with Kenwood
transceivers.
Transceiver Tuner Status Indication
The various models of Kenwood transceivers all indicate the status of the external tuner a
little differently. Most will show as graphical or textual icon on the screen to indicate that the
tuner is engaged and has properly tuned. For example, the TS-480 displays a flashing " R < AT
>T " while tuning, and a solid " R < AT >T " when tuning is complete. This icon disappears
when the tuner is bypassed. Other Kenwood transceivers behave similarly. Consult your
transceiver operating manual's section on use with external tuners (AT-300) for more
information.
Meaning
No compatible Kenwood Transceiver is
detected. Check interface cable connections.
Tuner is tuning.
Tuner has completed a tuning cycle; a
good SWR of <1.5 match was found.
Tuning cycle is complete, tuning match is
between 1.5:1 and 3.0:1 SWR.
Tuning cycle is complete, tuning match is
greater than 3.0:1 SWR.
Tuning cycle failed, no RF was detected.

middle of the tune.
