Veronica FM	88-108 20 Watt Power Amp
----------------------------------------

	WARNING!

DO NOT POWER AMP WITHOUT A SUITABLE 50 OHM BAND II ANTENNA OR DUMMY LOAD
CONNECTED TO RF OUT SOCKET


SETTING UP PROCEDURE

1.	Tune up the 500mW to 1W Transmitter Drive on a 50 ohm Dummy Load for
	maximum power at your chosen operating frequency.

2.	Remove the 4 Pozidrive Screws on the Power Amp Heatsink and lift off
	the Metal Cover.
	Adjust the Power Amp yellow capacitor to mid position.

3.	Connect a 50 ohm Antenna to the Power Amp SO239 RF OUT Socket.

4. 	Remove the power from the Transmitter Drive. Use a short PL259 patch 
	lead to connect the Transmitter Drive to the Power Amp SO239 RF IN 
	Socket.

5.	Connect the Power Amp to a 13.8V Regulated Power Supply capable of 
	delivering a continuous 3 amps. The Red LED should illuminate 
	indicting the presence of DC to the Power Amp.

6.	Power up the Transmitter Drive and the Power Amp Green LED should 
	illuminate, it may be dim.

7.	Adjust the Power Amp yellow capacitor for maximum brightness on Green
	LED.

8.	Slightly adjust the output tuning on the Transmitter Drive for a 
	further brightness increase on the Power Amp Green LED.

9.	Remove the power from the Transmitter Drive and the Power Amp and then
	replace the Power Amp Metal Cover and 4 Pozidrive screws.

10.	The Power Amp and Transmitter Drive are now tuned to maximum power and
	ready to use. Position the Heatsink Fins and the SO-239 sockets in an
	upward direction for best cooling under normal operation.
