6 - If the coupler operates as described above, it is almost certain that it will
give satisfactory service with a proper antenna. If you are still having trou-
ble, we hope that you will contact us for a free copy of our HF SSB User's Guide
and Products Catalog which contains much additional information.
If the lamp does not light: (be sure light bulb is good)
1 - Make sure that the radio is set to the CW mode. Some transceivers may not
provide CW output unless a CW key is connected to the appropriate connector.
If you are not sure about this, refer to your equipment manual. You may use
FM or AM instead if necessary.
2 - Check the voltage at the transceiver DC power terminals. Also, verify that
there is at least 12 volts available at the antenna coupler.
3 - You can check the SSB output of your transceiver by speaking into the
microphone. The lamp will not be as bright as in CW. This is normal.
4 - Keep in mind that most troubles with these installations will be found in
the wiring, coax connectors, and antenna/ground system.
5 - If there is no indication of transmitter output you will need to make
arrangements to have the unit serviced.
6 - If transmitter output is good, but the coupler does not tune up the lamp, you
should contact SGC for help.

rectly, contact SGC for a copy of our HF User's Guide for much additional infor-
mation on this subject.
