Tuning
To initiate antenna tuning, press and hold the TUNER/CALL
button on the radio for one second. This will place the radio
in “Tune” mode. The radio’s TX light should turn red,
indicating the radio is transmitting. In approx. 3 seconds, the
antenna will start moving and the TurboTuner-2 will start
searching for the lowest SWR. When the lowest SWR is
found, the TurboTuner-2 will beep a Morse code ‘K’ and
return the radio to receive mode.
Press the TUNER/CALL button to exit “Tune” mode. Make
sure you do this before changing frequency bands. This will
prevent the TurboTuner-2 from initiating another tune cycle
when the band is changed.
If a low SWR cannot be found after the antenna make one
reversal, the TurboTuner-2 will beep as series of Morse code
‘T’s and return the radio to receive mode.
Parking
The TurboTuner-2 is equipped with and “Park” function
which will lower the antenna to its minimum height. To
“park” your antenna, press the TUNER/CALL button as if
initiating a tuning cycle. Wait at least 2 seconds and then
press the TUNER/CALL button again. Upon entering “park”
mode, the TurboTuner-2 will beep a Morse Code ‘P’. When
the antenna reaches its minimum height, the TurboTuner-2
will beep a Morse Code ‘P’ again signifying completion of the
“park” sequence.
