Warning: 

 

1.

 

Do not allow the maximum output power of the amplifier to exceed 120 W. 

 

2.

 

Using the XPA125 at high power levels for extended periods can lead to 

overheating and potential damage to the PA stage.   

 

  

3.2.2

 

Band switching 

 

 

You can switch between the two modes of [AUTO- MANUAL] 
via this key.

 

If you want to connect the XPA125 to  an X108G or X5105, 
please set XPA125 to [AUTO] mode. 

If  you  want  to  connect  the  XPA125  to  other  devices, 
please  set  XPA125  to  [MANUAL]  mode  and  manually 
switch to the desired frequency band. 

Manual switching of frequency bands follows this order

: 

160m80m60m40m30m20m17m15m12m10m6m 

 

 

3.2.3  Using the automatic antenna tuner unit [ATU] (PA unit is set to BYPS 

state). 

 

 

Press the [ATU] button so that the current state of the amplifier 
is [INUSE].

 

Set the transceiver mode to CW & set the output power to 5 W.

 

Press the CW key to transmit, and the  XPA125 PA  amplifier 
stage will be activated. The XPA125 ATU unit will start, the 
screen will display [TUNE]. 

If tuning is successful, the screen will display [INUSE].

 

If  tuning fails, the screen will display [Fail].

 

 

 

If you need to re-tune, you can press the [ATU] button for two seconds to 
force the XPA125 ATU unit to start re-tuning. 
After successful tuning, switch the transceiver to the desired state for use.
