The TUNER-BYPASS SWITCH ONLY AFFECTS COAX CONNECTOR. It does not function on open wire or balanced connections.  Do not connect more than one antenna to the MT-2000A.  ''It is important to understand that you should not connect two antennas to this tuner at the same time.  It was '''not''' designed to have you connect an unbalanced feedline to one antenna while also having a balanced line or long wire antenna connected. Use one or the other, not both at the same time!'' *    FOR 14 MHZ AND ABOVE: Set both capacitors to 8. Adjust Inductor for maximum receive signal or background noise. Apply less than 100 Watts and adjust for minimum SWR.*    FOR 14 MHZ AND ABOVE: Set both capacitors to 8. Adjust Inductor for maximum receive signal or background noise. Apply less than 100 Watts and adjust for minimum SWRNotice above where it says, "The TUNER-BYPASS SWITCH ONLY AFFECTS COAX CONNECTOR. It does not function on open wire or balanced connections."  How can this be accurate when you look at the schematic?  It looks to me like the balun is still a factor whether or not the bypass is engaged, however, the capacitors and inductor are bypassed when using balanced line with the bypass engaged. Dentron MT-2000A Schematic[[File:DEN2000ASCH.gif]]The connection from S1A left to the so239 should have the line going to the center of the connector I believe.Also, it looks like the balun could be bypassed using balanced line if one side of the balanced line was connected to the Single Wire connector while the other side of the balanced line was jumpered (using a wire with alligator clips) to the chassis.==references==* http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/dentron/mt2000a/[[Category:Tangible Product]]
