Based on the user manual (occasionally RTFMing can be productive).... It is going to take a minimum of 5 watts for it to work. That is at the max end of the 1500's RF output so you may not have enough RF output to tune the ATU. I have this problem with a CG-5000 ATU
Second, since there is no external ATU connector on the 1500, you are going to have to use the 998 ATU in manual mode. Just use the TUNe button on the PowerSDR console to generate the RF "tone" needed for the 998 to tune (by pressing it's TUNE button for 0.5-2 seconds). When the 998 is done tuning, click on the PowerSDR TUNe button to terminate the RF tone used for tuning. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Samuel Strongin Sent: Sunday, December 19, 2010 9:57 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Using MFJ 998 autotuner with power sdr HI I would like to know how to use s 998 1500 watt autotuner with my Flex-1500 , no this is not a typo .
