Tuning Pulser

Ameritron ATP-100 Tuning Pulser

The Ameritron ATP-100 Tuning Pulser relieves temperature related stress on

amplifiers, tuners, and dummy loads while allowing proper system adjustments.

It allows amplifiers to be properly adjusted without the use of long steady

carriers.

The Ameritron ATP-100 Tuning Pulser allows tuning of an amplifier with full

required drive from the transceiver without over-heating the finals or anything

else in the RF line. It sends a series of pulses to the transceiver allowing the

peak power to be high enough to drive the amplifier to full power, but with the

average power being low enough not to over-heat the final(s).

The Ameritron ATP-100 Tuning Pulser works with any solid state amateur

transceiver or transmitter, and all other equipment using positive keying line

voltages below 50 volts open circuit and 100 mA closed key current. It can also

be used with negative voltage key lines (commonly found in older tube type

radios) provided keying voltages are below 25 volts dc open circuit.

The Ameritron ATP-100 Tuning Pulser can also be used as a valuable

troubleshooting and diagnostic aid. The Ameritron ATP-100 Tuning Pulser can

be used in performance tests of QSK systems, wattmeters, and other equipment

(see appendix).

The Ameritron ATP-100 Tuning Pulser uses a single 9-volt battery for power,

with battery life dependent on operating and storage time. To install the battery

remove the cover by removing the two screws (one on each side) that secure it.

A battery clip and holder, located on the left side of the enclosure, are provided

for installing the 9-volt battery.

Technical Description

The Ameritron ATP-100 Tuning Pulser uses a 555 timer driving an FET open

drain switch. Two internal controls allow independent adjustment of both pulse

repetition rate (PULSE RATE) and on-to-off time duty cycle (DUTY CYCLE).

PULSE RATE is adjustable from about 17 to 40 pulses per second, while DUTY

CYCLE is adjustable from about 10 to 90 percent. The keying time intervals are

typically adjustable from 2- 40 mS "on" time, and a 24 to 60 mS pulse repetition

time interval.

Minimum duty cycle and the slowest PULSE RATE occur at the full

counterclockwise settings of both internal controls. The controls are designed to

accept a small flat blade screwdriver.
