The Automatic HF Antenna Tuning Unit (AATU) model ACOM03AT is a complete and self-contained unit for automatic matching of HF symmetrical antenna impedance to an unbalanced 50 Ohm output, that covers a continuous 1.8 to 16MHz\u00a0 frequency range and will withstand 200 to 2500W input power depending on the antenna SWR.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Features
\n<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Easy to operate. The only operator obligation is to apply CW power while the matching process is fully automatic.
\n\u2022 Guards your transmitter during the tuning process against excessive impedance mismatch via inserting a powerful attenuator at the input, and removing it after that. Protected against relays \u201chot\u201d switching, excessive antenna voltage, overheating etc.
\n\u2022 Remote matching – less losses in the feed line. The main (remote) unit design complies outdoor-installation requirements. This permits you to locate it closely to the antenna feed-points, thus considerably reducing the high-SWR RF path length.
\n\u2022 Operates automatically with any transceiver without special signals – 10 to 100W CW for several seconds is the only requirement to perform automatic impedance matching.
\n\u2022 Optical control link (up to 50m) between RCU and remote AATU unit. This avoids erratic control at a strong electromagnetic RF field which is the typical case in the near-field zone of an antenna when emitting 1-2kW.
\n\u2022 Nonvolatile memory for 99 different user’s tuning settings and selection of the power-on default.
\n\u2022 Resource-estimate function (STATUS) giving the percentage of inductors and capacitors involved to achieve a match. This offers a possibility for monitoring the condition of the RF path and the antenna, thus to forewarn possible problems.
\n\u2022 Features BYPASS function, performed by default also when powered off, where the effect of the inductors and capacitors on the impedance is excluded for broadband operation (the balun transformer still inline).
\n\u2022 Protected against atmospheric electricity via sphere spark gaps and a bleeder choke.
\n\u2022 Options: Unbalanced output with 50 Ohm UHF(SO239A) connector; Control for the ACOM2000A HF linear amplifier and forACOM2000S automatic antenna selector; PC control via RS232 or RS422 serial port; Nonvolatile memory for user tunings.<\/p>\n
