  • Page 66 Sing The uTOMaTic nTenna uner The Automatic Antenna Tuner (hereinafter referred to as the “ATU”) built into each FT 3000 is designed to ensure a 50-Ohm load for the final amplifier stage of the transmitter. We recommend that the ATU be used whenever you operate on the FT 3000. dvice  Because the ATU of the FT 3000 is located inside the station, it only adjusts the impedance presented to the trans- ceiver at the station end of your coaxial cable feedline. It does not “tune” the SWR at the antenna feed point itself. When designing and building your antenna system, we recommend that every effort be made to ensure a low SWR at the antenna feed point.  The ATU of the FT 3000 includes 100 memories for tuning data. Eleven of these memories are allocated, one per Amateur band, so that each band has at least one setting preset for use on that band. The remaining 89 memories are reserved for the 89 most-recent tuning points, for quick frequency change without the need to retune the ATU.  The ATU in the FT 3000 is designed to match impedances within the range of 16.5 Ohms to 150 Ohms, cor- responding to an SWR of 3:1 or less on the 160 through 6 meter amateur bands. Accordingly, simple non-resonant whip antennas, along with random-length wires and the “G5RV” antenna (on most bands) may not be within the im- pedance matching range of the ATU.

The operator presses and holds in the [ TUNE ] button for two seconds to begin impedance matching using the ATU. If a high SWR condition exists (above 3:1), corrective action must be taken in the antenna system to bring the imped- ance closer to 50 Ohms. The ATU will refuse to memorize settings on frequencies where the SWR exceeds 3:1.

You may utilize one group of settings when the speech processor is off and an alternate group of settings when the speech processor is on. The speech processor feature is de- scribed in the next chapter. Uick OinT The Parametric Equalizer is a unique technique for adjusting the signal quality. The three audio ranges may be adjusted so precisely, it is possible to craft an audio response that provides a natural and pleasant sound that you may not have ever experienced before. Alternately, the effective “talk power” can be significantly enhanced. The aspects of configuration that you may adjust on the Parametric Equalizer are: Center Frequency: The center frequency of each of the three bands may be adjusted. Gain: The amount of enhancement (or suppression) within each band may be adjusted. The bandwidth over which the equalization is applied may be adjusted.
