for a discussion of an appropriate antenna.
@
BlAS CONTROL
The
BlAS control adjusts the bias voltage of the two
S2001A 16146B) amplifier tubes. Tuning the control clock-
wise increases the idling plate current of the tubes. Section
4 describes adjustment of the bias current.
a
SG SWITCH
The SG slide switch controls the screen grid voltage on the
final tubes. For tuning or neutralizing the TS-820 you can
set the switch to the OFF position. Turn the switch back to

4
amp fuse which protects the power
supply of the transmitter against short circuits. Never use a
higher amperage fuse than the one specified. An improper
one can cause extensive damage to the transmitter. When
the fuse blows out. try to determine the cause before repla-
cing it.
Wnen the position of the AC Voltage Selector
Sw~tch is
changed. it is also necessary to change the power fuse. For
120 volt operation a 6 ampere fuse. for 220 volt operation a
4
ampere fuse prov~ded with the TS-820 should be used.
