At-180 Internal Switch Description - Icom IC-718 Instruction Manual

� AT-180 internal switch description
The optional AT-180 has 3 operating conditions for
HF band operation. Select a suitable condition
according to your antenna system.
qRemove the top cover of the AT-180.
wSet the tuner switches to the desired positions
according to the table below.
SW Position
A The tuner operating condition is set by S2
(default)
described below.
THROUGH INHIBIT
The tuner tunes the antenna even when
the antenna has poor SWR (up to VSWR
3:1 after tuning). In this case, manual tun-
ing is necessary each time you change the
B
frequency although the tuner automatically
starts tuning when the VSWR is higher
than 3:1. This setting is called "through
inhibit," however, the tuner is set to
"through" if the VSWR is higher than 3:1
after tuning.
TUNER SENSITIVE CONDITION
The tuner tunes each time you transmit
(except SSB mode). Therefore, the lowest
C
SWR is obtained at any given time.
For SSB mode, the same condition is as
the "D" position below.
NORMAL CONDITION
D The tuner tunes when the SWR is higher
(default)
than 1.5:1. Therefore, the tuner activates
only when tuning is necessary.
