Operation From the IT-100 Front Panel
Normally, the IT-100 is best operated from the transceiver’s front panel TUNER/CALL
button, but there are certain circumstances in which operating from the IT-100 front panel gives
more control. There are three operations which can be carried out by use of the front panel button
on the IT-100: Toggle bypass mode, start a memory tune, or force a full tune:
Toggle Bypass Mode
To toggle between bypassed and active mode, press the front panel Tune button on the IT-
100 momentarily. The Tuning/Status LED will flash three times to indicate that the tuner is in
bypass mode. Press the front panel Tune button momentarily again to recall the previous tuner
settings. The Tuning/Status LED will flash once to indicate that the tuner is no longer bypassed.
This function may be useful if you wish to compare antenna performance with and without the
benefit of the tuner’s matching network.
