• output circuit matching capability: better than VSWR 3:1 (2:1 for 160m) or greater at reduced
output levels; automated.
g) Automatic Tuning:
• Load Impedance Matching - less than 3 seconds;
• Band Change - less than one second;
• Segment Change - less than 0.2 seconds.
h) RF Gain: 14.5dB, frequency response less than 0.5dB (50 to 60W drive power for rated output).
