They actually made that unit to be powered up.? If you turn off power, relays unlatch and radio sees no load and or super high swr.

If ya want to blow your radio up follow Steve's advice :)

Dang... they actually designed it so screwed if you do, screwed if you don't...? 8-/

Actually, that makes sense since these aren't latching relays.

So instead, you somehow have to whet it's desire to go retune when the SWR goes too high... how to do that, I wonder?

I suppose the answer to that would be to disconnect power to the tuner after it's done its job....

Or rewire it so it only tunes when power is applied, then you remove power to keep it from self-destructing-under-drive.

Yeah, I know: VERY inconvenient! Perhaps that's why they quit making such units.
