proper match of the antenna to the feed line. The Smartuner is a true antenna
coupler.
The several key points, which we will emphasize throughout this manual, will result in
the best possible operation of your Smartuner. These include:
• The coupler must be located at the antenna.
• No coax may be connected to the coupler output.
• The coupler must have clean +12 VDC power supplied to it.
• The ground system must always be larger than the antenna.
• The antenna wire should be of the largest gauge practical.
• Capacitance at the coupler output must be minimal.
• The antenna should be of sufficient length for your lowest operating
frequency.
Strictly observing these basic rules will insure good operations under the widest range
of conditions.
This manual should be thoroughly studied if you plan to have the best possible signal
and most reliable operation of your HF system.
