LINEAR AMPLIFIER CONTROL
When you connect an external HF or 50 MHz linear
amplifier to the transceiver using the REMOTE
connector, select “1”, “2”, or “3” to activate the
internal relay and/ or DC output (12 V) so you can
interface with the HF/ 50 MHz linear amplifier {page
80}. The DC output (12 V) works without any
annoying chattering sounds (“1”) but the output
current is limited to 10 mA. If your linear amplifier
control circuit draws more than DC 12 V/ 10 mA, use
the relay switching (“2” or “3”) instead.
Also, some linear amplifiers require a long
transmission delay time because of the slow antenna
relay switching time. In this case, select “3” for the
slow switching (25 ms delay).
1 Press [MENU/ F.LOCK], then turn the MULTI
control to select Menu No. 28 (HF) or
29 (50 MHz).
2 Press [
]/ [
] to select “oFF”, “1”, “2”, or “3”.
