Rf Μtuning Kit - Yaesu FT dx 1200 Operating Manual

i
nstallation of
The RF µTuning Kits provide ultra-sharp RF selectivity for the front end of the transceiver. A Very high Q tuned circuit
makes possible the narrow-band design. Three RF µTuning Kits are available. The MTU-160 covers the 1.8 MHz band.
The MTU-80/40 covers the 3.5 and 7 MHz bands. The MTU-30/20 covers 10.1 and 14 MHz bands.
The narrow bandwidth is especially useful on the low bands, when many strong signals are being received via NVIS
propagation (Near Vertical-Incidence Signals) within a narrow bandwidth. The added protection for the receiver RF
stages is especially helpful in preventing IMD and blocking.
Installation
Assemble the RF µTuning Unit according to the "RF
µTuning Kit Installation Manual" supplied with the RF
µTuning Kit.

Interconnections to FT
Connect each cable (supplied with the RF µTuning
Kit) between the RF µTuning Unit and the FT
Transceiver.
 The RF connecting cables are color
coded (black and gray) to assist in
properly connecting the RF IN and
RF OUT jacks. (See illustration)

However, improper operation may
occur.

connections before turning on the
transceiver.
 If the FT
and the frequency display blinks
sometimes, confirm and correct
the "CNTL IN" and "CNTL OUT"
connections on the RF µTuning
Unit.
 The order of connecting multiple
RF µTuning Units is not important.
