ATU-1000 PART 3

[@Jebs-Projects]

Where did you find the case to fit the atu-1000?

[@ominguti6345]

How are those relays not getting smoked at 1000W (potentially mismatched)? People traditionally use expensive vacuum relays. These are miniature relays...

[@Ferret488]

@ominguti6345 they are DPDT relays, have 15 amp contacts, connected in parallel. More than enough.

How hard would it be to have the front panel remote inside the shack with the ATU at the base of the antenna

[@ptarsob]

My ATU is on the antenna base 35 meters away from my shack. You don't need any display or control on the shack! The unit works perfectly fine without any remote control. When I need to force a re-tune, I simply change the frequency to any other band, apply RF power ( CW 10 or 20 W), wait 5 to 15 seconds, until SWR do goes down on radio SWR indication, than go back to the previous band, where I was trying to force an auto tune action! A piece of cake. I've been working that way for 2 years A remote control would be a source of EMI and will cost much more effort and money then the ATU itself> Well, that is my opinion 73 PY1JDX
