APPLICATION NOTES
Mobile Operation
The AT-100Pro is perfectly suited to mobile operation. It can be installed under the dashboard along
with the transceiver, or mounted remotely. The only requirements are that the tuner remain dry, and that
the power source is fused appropriately. A 2 amp “fast blow” fuse is recommended.
If the ICOM or Yaesu radio interface cable is needed for a remote installation, the supplied cables can
be extended in two ways. The original cable can be cut, and jumper wires soldered between all the
connections, or new connectors can be purchased and a pair of homebrew extender cables made with the
new connectors.
With the AT-100Pro mounted, for example, in the trunk, simply set the AT-100Pro for fully automatic
mode. It will automatically tune any time the SWR exceeds the preprogrammed threshold. Although the
LED display will not be visible in the trunk of the car, your transceiver’s built-in SWR meter will show
the tuner’s progress. Remember to keep your eyes on the road, however! In most cases, a match will be
recalled from memory, so the SWR will snap to a low value as soon as you begin to transmit.
Conserving Power When Operating on Batteries
The AT-100Pro is designed with portable operation in mind. The internal relays are latching-type
