Inside the T1
i If you need to open the T1 to do testing or replace parts, use an anti-static mat or touch a
grounded metal surface occasionally. This will help prevent ESD damage to sensitive components.
Figure 1 shows the interior of the T1. It is accessed by opening the battery compartment, then removing
four screws on the bottom of the unit. The LEDs and switches are on the Control board, which plugs into
the Main board at J4 and J5. U1, the microcontroller (MCU), is located beneath the Control board.

Battery Installation
Slide open the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the T1. Align the 9-V battery’s (-) terminal with
the wider of the two contacts (Figure 1). Note: The T1 includes reverse-polarity protection.
Storing the Battery for Transport
When packing the T1 for travel, remove the battery and re-install it flipped left-to-right, with the battery
terminals away from the contacts. This takes just a couple of seconds, and will prevent the T1 from getting
turned on inside a pack or suitcase. (Even if it does get turned on, it will turn itself off after a few seconds.)
Connections
Connect the T1 to your transceiver, antenna, and ground as shown in Figure 2. (Also see Antenna
Considerations on page 9.) If you have a T1 remote control adapter, connect its 3.5 mm phone plug to J3
on the left side of the T1, and plug the other end into your transceiver’s accessory jack. (Further
information can be found in the instruction sheet for your adapter.)

Basic Operation

The switch on the left (S1) turns on the T1 and activates the PWR and TUNE functions, described below.
The battery is checked on each power-up. If it’s getting low, the red LED will flash twice, and the battery
should be replaced. (Actual battery voltage can be checked as part of the INFO report; see page 7.)

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ BEFORE USING THE T1:

•
If your transceiver is not protected against high SWR, or if you’re not sure, use no more
than half its rated power during antenna matching. This reduces stress on the final stage.
•
Do not use the T1 on bands above 54 MHz. Even though the T1 may appear to achieve a low-
SWR match on these bands, most of the power will be dissipated in the tuner itself.
•
When the T1 is turned on, it may generate signals that are audible in your receiver. Once the
operation is complete and the T1 turns itself back off, it will not generate signals of any kind.
Autotuning and SWR Display

•
Hold the PWR/TUNE switch until the green LED turns on, then release. The LED will flash.
•
To start tuning, transmit while the green LED is flashing (about 3 seconds). If you use SSB voice
or a CW keyer, relay switching will start and stop. Keep transmitting until all LEDs turn off.
•
The three LEDs will show approximate SWR as labeled on the SWR bar graph. Intermediate
values are indicated by combinations (Green+Yellow, about 1.5:1; Yellow+Red , about 2.5:1).
If desired, a more accurate SWR reading can be obtained using the INFO feature (page 7).
•
Initial tune-ups average 5 seconds. Settings are saved in memories, so retuning is much faster.
•
The T1 will turn itself off after tuning, preserving the present settings due to its latching relays.
Faster Retuning with Difficult Loads

•
Normally, the T1 retunes from memory only if it finds an SWR of under 1.5:1. You can select a
save/retune SWR threshold of 2:1 to speed retuning of often-used, yet hard-to-match antennas.
•
To select a 2:1 threshold for a given initial tune or retune, hold PWR/TUNE until the green LED
turns on and then off, then release. Start transmitting while the LED is flashing, as above.
Autotuning using Remote Control (requires optional adapter)

•
Change bands at the transceiver; the T1 will recall the last settings used on the new band.
•
To retune, transmit while the green LED is flashing (about 3 sec.). The LEDs will show SWR.
Power Display

•
Tap the PWR/TUNE switch (a tap is a press shorter than 1/2 sec.). The yellow LED will flash.
•
Begin transmitting within 3 seconds. Approximate power output will be shown on the LEDs:
Green 0.5-1.5 W, Green+Yellow 1.5-3 W, Yellow 3-5 W, Yellow+Red 5-8 W, Red over 8 W.
•
If power drops below 0.5 W for 3 seconds, the T1 will turn itself off.

.
Additional Operating Features

The switch on the right (S2) provides access to three additional functions. These are described below.

Bypassing the ATU (L and C set to 0)

•
Tap PWR/TUNE; the yellow LED will flash.
•
Tap BYP/INFO to alternate between ATU in-line (green LED on) and bypassed (yellow LED on).
•
When bypassed, the T1 can still show SWR; activate TUNE mode, then key the transmitter.
This is especially useful when adjusting backpacking or mobile antennas to resonance.
INFO Report

The last SWR reading, battery voltage, and other information can be obtained using the INFO feature.

•
Tap PWR/TUNE; the yellow LED will flash. Hold BYP/INFO for about 1 second, then release.
•
The T1 will send several parameters in slow Morse code on both the yellow LED and via a weak
RF signal (see page 11). “R” (radix) is used in lieu of decimal points. Parameters sent include:
Sx SWR (e.g., S1R0 = 1.0:1)
Vx Battery voltage (e.g., V9R0 = 9 volts)
Lx Inductance in ..H (e.g., L1R45 = 1.45 ..H)
Cx Capacitance in pF (e.g., C330 = 330 pF)
Nx Network configuration (NT = K8 set to “TX”, NA = K8 set to “ANT”)
Bx Band ID: B0, no band data; B1-B11, 160-6 m; B12, over 6 m (L & C set to 0)
Fx Firmware revision (e.g., F1R06 = revision 1.06)

•
The report can be cancelled by holding PWR/TUNE for about 1 second.
L-Network Testing

The T1 includes a test mode that’s useful for troubleshooting relays and L-network components (also see
page 10). To use test mode:

•
Tap or hold PWR/TUNE. The yellow or green LED will flash.
•
Hold BYP/INFO for over 4 seconds, then release. “L0” will be sent in slow CW on the yellow
LED, showing that L = 0 (C is also set to 0). A test-mode “heartbeat” will flash on the red LED.
•
Tap BYP/INFO to select L1; “1” will be sent on the yellow LED. Further taps select L2, L3…L7.
•
Hold BYP/INFO to switch to C; “C0” will be sent. Tapping BYP/INFO selects C1, C2…C7.
•
Hold BYP/INFO to select N (net relay); “NT” will be sent (C TX). Tap to select “NA” (C ANT).
•
Relays can also be controlled by sending binary data via J3. Use the TUNE and DATA timing
shown in Figure 3. Send 0000 to reset all relays, and 0001-1111 to set K1-K15 respectively.
Once any relay data is sent via J3, you’ll need to use only this method, not manual selection.
•
Connect a sensitive SWR bridge between the T1 and transmitter to test components (page 10).
Tap PWR/TUNE to exit. (Note: In TEST mode, the T1 turns off after 60 seconds of no activity.)

.
Remote Control

J3 on the T1 has two signals: DATA (tip) and TUNE (ring). This section explains how to use them to
control the T1 from a transceiver, computer, or other device. Note: If you place the tuner where you can’t
see its LEDs or hear its relays, you’ll need an SWR bridge to verify the T1’s matching progress. During
tuning, SWR will vary rapidly. Once SWR has stabilized for a few seconds, you can stop transmitting.

Using the TUNE Signal

An external PWR/TUNE switch (or a low-going signal from an open-collector or open-drain driver) can be
connected to J3-ring. Pulling this line to ground for about 1/2 second will enable auto-tuning just as if you
pressed the T1’s TUNE switch. The cable supplying the TUNE signal to the T1 should be well-shielded;
small coax such as RG-174 can be used in most cases. If you use also use the DATA line (see below),
you’ll need cable with two conductors as well as a shield, such as Belden type 1508A.

Using the DATA Signal

DATA (J3-tip) is a bidirectional logic input. After the T1 is activated by the TUNE signal, it will request
band information via the DATA line. If valid band data is received, the tuner will store and recall network
settings on a per-band basis. This is very convenient since the tuner will then track band changes at the rig
without the need to transmit. If the tuner sees a TUNE signal but does not receive band data, it will revert to
default operation, i.e. no per-band storage. (Band IDs for 160-6 meters are 1-11. An ID of 0 is ignored, and
an ID of 12 sets L and C to 0. You can verify the band ID received by the T1 using INFO; see page 7.)

Figure 3 shows the protocol. First, the T1 sends a band request pulse on the DATA line, which is initially
an input at the control device. When the control device sees the end of the request pulse, it sets up DATA
as an output, and after a 10-ms delay, sends a band ID to the T1 (band 6 in this example, or “0110” in
binary). The ID is sent most-significant-bit (MSB) first, each bit having a high and low period. The high
period is 4 ms for a “1” and 1.5 ms for a “0”. The low period is always 1.5 ms, except for that of the LSB
(least-significant-bit), which can be extended indefinitely. Timing values should be held to +/- 15%.

Antenna Considerations

The T1 can be used with nearly any antenna—dipoles, verticals, whips, beams, and random-length wires.
In general, the longer an antenna is, and the higher it is, the better it will work. If you’re planning operation
in the field, test your chosen antenna system with the T1 ahead of time if possible.

Never connect a whip directly to the T1. This may damage the antenna jack or PC board.

Ground system: A good ground counterpoise is a necessity for efficient transmit operation with verticals,
whips, and end-fed random-wire antennas. With a poor ground, the receiver may still sound “hot,” and the
indicated SWR may be low when you transmit, but your effective transmit power will be much lower –
often by 10 to 20 dB or more. Use at least one ground radial, cut to about 1/4th wavelength on the lowest
band. When possible, use two or more radials, with at least one cut to 1/4 wavelength on each band used.

Coax-fed antennas: The T1 will extend the frequency range of most coax-fed antennas. For example, the
tuner might allow you to use a somewhat narrow-banded 40- or 80-meter antenna across the full band. In
many cases it will also match single-band antennas on multiple bands.

Random-wire antennas: Random-wire results will vary depending on the wire length, height, type of
support, and ground system. Avoid lengths close to a multiple of 1/2-wavelength on any band you plan to
use. If you use an end-fed wire with no feedline and/or a poor ground, you may need to reduce power to
avoid RFI problems with the transceiver, tuner, nearby computers, portable phones, etc. For portable
antennas, we recommend #26 stranded copperclad steel wire, such as Wireman #534 (also available from
Davis RF as #WM534). It’s strong, lightweight, and easy to keep straight. (When antenna wire is not in
use, wind it in a figure-8 pattern to keep it from tangling.)

Backpacking verticals and other short antennas: The T1 can extend the range of loaded antennas, often
allowing full-band operation without readjustment of coils or elements. It will typically match an unloaded
8’ whip on 40 meters and higher. On 80 and 160 meters, a loaded antenna or supplemental series
inductance will be required. Center loading is preferable to base-loading; capacitive top-hats often beat
both.

With loaded antennas, you should manually resonate the antenna at the desired center frequency before
using the T1 for matching. First, put the T1 into bypass mode as described on page 7. Next, go into TUNE
mode and transmit. The T1 will show approximate SWR, allowing you to adjust the coil tap or element
length. Then exit bypass mode. Finally, use the T1’s TUNE function to fine-tune the match.

Do I need a really low SWR? Not necessarily. For example, if the SWR is 2:1, the loss in transmitted
signal strength will only be about 0.5 dB. However, a low SWR may prevent power “roll-back,” and can
protect simpler QRP transmitters that are unstable with some reactive loads. The T1 always tries to reach
1.0:1, and with most antennas it will find an SWR below 1.5:1 on bands within its matching range.

Using a balun: A balun can do as many as three things at once: (1) improve the match to very high-
impedance antennas; (2) allow the T1 to be used with antennas that have balanced feedlines; (3) help
isolate the antenna from the rig and ATU to reduce RF pickup. A low-loss, broad-band, 4:1 balun such as
the Elecraft BL1 is a good choice (it's also quite small—just 1.5 x 3").

.
Troubleshooting

If you need to open the T1 to do testing or replace parts, use an anti-static mat or touch a
grounded metal surface occasionally. This will help prevent ESD damage to sensitive components.

T1 doesn’t turn on: Make sure you’re using a fresh 9-V battery. Verify that the MCU is installed in the
correct orientation and is plugged into its socket as far as it will go. Also check for proper mating of the
connectors on the Control board. Try unplugging the remote control cable (if applicable).

Intermittent failures: If the T1 suddenly stops working, it may be because the transceiver’s supply voltage
is being pulled too low during transmit. This is especially likely if you’re using a battery and maximum
power output. Try reducing power, recharging the battery, or disconnecting the remote-control cable.

T1 fails to find a match, stops tuning, or turns on by itself: Such problems can be caused by RFI due to
a poor ground, an end-fed antenna (especially if it’s close to1/2-wavelength long), or an antenna placed
close to the transmitter. Try improving your ground system, moving the antenna farther away, altering its
length, or using a balun (see page 9). Using high power will worsen RFI, especially on the highest bands;
try 2-5 W for initial tune-ups. Typically the T1 will reset itself and recover from excessive RFI after a few
seconds. If it continues to be unresponsive, remove and reinstall the battery. If problems only occur with a
remote control cable connected, try a shorter cable and/or better shielding. Also make sure the T1 is not in
bypass mode.

T1 causes interference on receive: You may hear harmonics of the T1’s MCU clock or other odd sound
effects while the ATU is turned on. These should cease when the ATU turns itself off. If not, the MCU may
be in an unknown state due to excessive RFI during a previous transmission. Remove and replace the
battery if this occurs. If that doesn’t fix the problem, try re-seating the MCU and the Control PC board.

SWR indication on the transceiver doesn’t match the T1’s: SWR bridges vary in sensitivity and
accuracy, if calibrated at all, especially at frequency extremes. Some rigs also roll back power at high
SWR. This can make SWR read lower than reality during auto-tunes, making it appear that the T1 has not
selected the best match. In any case, such discrepancies rarely matter (see SWR discussion on page 9).

PWR indication is always about 0 watts: The windings of transformer T1 or T2 may be reversed, or one
or more leads of T1, T2, or L1-L7 may not be properly stripped. Also look for a short in the L-network.

SWR indication is higher than 1.0:1 with a 50-ohm load: An antenna tuner can usually tune out its own
stray reactance. However, if the T1’s SWR is higher than 1.5:1 into 50 ohms on some bands in bypass
mode, check the relays and L/C network components using TEST mode (see procedure below).

T1 is unable to achieve a low SWR on some bands: Make sure the tuner is not in bypass mode (see page
7). You could also have a defective relay, inductor, or capacitor; use test mode (page 7) to test each L and
C by noting their effect on SWR. Insert a sensitive SWR bridge between the transceiver and the ATU, and
connect a 50-ohm load to the antenna jack. Start on the highest band. Select L0, key the rig, and note the
SWR. Then select L1 and key again; the SWR should change by a small amount. L2 should have a larger
effect, etc. If the SWR goes above the meter’s scale, switch to a lower band to test the other inductors.
Similarly, check C0-C7. Look for a part that has a disproportional effect on SWR in relation to others.

.
Using Your HF Transceiver to Listen to the INFO Report

The INFO report is sent via both the yellow LED and a weak RF signal. To find the best signal, disconnect
the antenna from the T1 to reduce background noise, switch in a wide receive filter, then tune your
transceiver’s VFO across any band while the T1 sends data (see page 7). Some frequency ranges to try
include 1.8-1.9, 3.8-3.9, 7.0-7.2, and 14.0-14.2 MHz. Note: The reason the signal frequency varies from
one T1 to the next (and drifts a bit) is that its MCU runs from a ceramic resonator rather than a crystal.

Circuit Details

(Please refer to the schematic, next page.) The ATU uses seven inductors and seven capacitors in an L-
network. The capacitance can be placed at the transmitter or antenna end of the network via relay K8. Each
inductor and capacitor has its own DPDT relay, with the individual sections of each relay placed in parallel
for reliability. The relays are selected under control of the ATU's microcontroller, U1. Latching relays are
used so that they will not consume any power except when the operator is actually tuning.

The T1 uses a comprehensive, three-stage tuning algorithm to ensure selection of the best of its 32,768
relay combinations. The coarse phase takes the longest because the impedance is an unknown (using band
data via remote control can reduce this time by eliminating some L and C values based on the operating
band). High SWR “subtrees” of L/C possibilities are also “pruned” during this phase. Fine and very fine
matching stages try successively narrower L/C groups. Once a match has been found, it is saved in
EEPROM for later consideration when retuning. A number of such matches are saved, so the tuner will
rarely need to tune completely from scratch. If band data is available, it is used to load the last-used
network values on each band. Further details on using band-data appear on page 8.

T1, T2, D1, D2 (etc.) form a directional coupler for SWR and power measurements. This type of bridge is
inherently balanced over a wide frequency range and requires no adjustment. The bridge outputs are
connected to A-to-D inputs on U1. U1 measures these voltages and converts them to SWR or power
readings, using averaging and linearization techniques to improve accuracy. Before matching starts, the T1
determines the peak power of the transmitted signal, then uses a large fraction of this value as a qualifier
for SWR readings. In this way, SSB voice as well as any other modulation method can be used for antenna
tuning, with little loss of accuracy compared to the use of a constant carrier.

The Control board provides the user interface (LEDs D6-D8 and switches S1-S2) as well as the interface
between the remote jack (J3) and the microcontroller (U1 on the main board). Since the Control board is a
plug-in module, future variations can be accommodated. D3 is a reverse-polarity protection diode for Q1
and U2. Q1 is turned on whenever the user presses the PWR/TUNE switch, providing about 9 volts to U2,
the 5-volt regulator. This wakes up the microcontroller, which loads the present settings from EEPROM
and verifies proper relay configuration. R10 and R11 form a voltage divider for battery voltage checks.
DATA is a bidirectional logic line used by the T1 to request band data from remote-control adapters.

The INFO report RF output is generated by placing a digital pulse train on the VREFL line during “ON”
code elements. This modulates the 4-MHz oscillator and its subharmonics, providing audible CW signals
throughout the HF and VHF range. The signal is coupled to the transceiver via leakage paths in the SWR
bridge and L-C network.
