==== Radio shack equipment has no brain. Use your own. ====
Due to human safety, legal compliance, and the risk of equipment damage, always ask the maintainers for permission before touching any devices, especially the antenna system, power supplies, and transmitters.

==== Antenna Important Notice: ====
* Remember: An antenna tuning unit (ATU) does not retune the antenna to a different band; it only protects the transmitter from damage. It does not magically grant resonance or efficiency to an inherently inefficient antenna structure.
* Exceeding operational limits (power, frequency ranges) can permanently damage the antenna system, measuring equipment, or dummy loads.
* Always operate in QRP mode (low power) during tests and experiments to minimize risks.
