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. 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 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 slow
switching (25 ms delay).
1 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or
turn the MULTI/CH control to select Menu No. 53
(HF) or 54 (50 MHz).
2 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select “oFF”,
“1”, “2”, or “3”.
3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.
