QUICK START GUIDE

1. Connect the Amplifier to a 120VAC or 240VAC outlet as the power supply is AUTO sensing. We

recommend using the Amplifier at 240VAC, although at 120VAC your mercury’s power supply will

perform well. At 240VAC the power supply fan runs at a lower RPM and is quieter and more efficient.

2. Connect the output of the amplifier ANT-1 to a 50-ohm load or to the corresponding antenna.

Connect the RF-IN of the amplifier to the RF-OUT of the transceiver.

3. Connect the RCA PTT terminals from amplifier and to transceiver.

4. Do NOT connect ALC unless it has been adjusted…(not needed for quick startup).

Set the transceiver to a minimum power output, 1-5 watts.

5. Gradually increase power by SSB modulation, while checking for output power.

WARNING: Keep input power less than 20-Watts for (RTTY, CW, AM, FM, DATA) Modes.
