Antenna Tuner Operation; Automatic Antenna Selection - Icom IC-7600 Instruction Manual

■ Automatic antenna selection

The transcever covers 0.03–60 MHz over 10 bands.
Each band key has a band memory whch can mem-
orze a selected antenna (ANT1, ANT2, ANT1/RX
antenna and ANT2/RX antenna). When you change
the operatng frequency beyond a band, the prev-
ously used antenna s automatcally selected. Ths
functon s convenent when you use 2 or 3 antennas.
To use the band memory, enter set mode and con-
frm that "Auto" s selected as the [ANT] swtch tem.
(p. 130)
• Antenna selection mode: "Auto" (default)
The antenna tuner ON/OFF condton s also memo-
rzed n the band memory.
[Example]: a 3.5/7 MHz antenna s connected to
[ANT1], a 21/28/50 MHz antenna s connected to
[ANT2]. When the antenna selector functon s set to
"Auto," an antenna s automatcally selected when the
transcever changes bands.
• Antenna selection mode: "Manual"
[ANT] (MF1) functons, however, band memory does
not functon. In ths case, you must select an antenna
manually.
When usng an external antenna selector for more
than 3 antennas (except for receve antenna),
"Manual" should be selected as the [ANT] swtch set
mode tem. (p. 130)
NOTE: When "Auto" or "Manual" s selected, the
antenna tuner ON/OFF condton s consstent wth
[ANT] (MF1).
• Antenna selection mode: "OFF"
[ANT] (MF1) does not functon and [ANT1] s always
selected.
