The tuner automatically selects one of four available antenna outputs (as assigned in bands by the operator) and matches the impedance of the chosen antenna output by transforming it to 50 Ohm with SWR below 1.5:1 at the tuner input (typically below 1.3), providing an optimum load impedance for the amplifier.<\/p>\n<p>Compatibility<br \/>\nThe ACOM 06AT tuner is specifically designed and developed to work with the ACOM series of solid state (transistor) amplifiers, e.g., ACOM 500S, 600S, 700S, 1200S or ACOM 2020S.<\/p>\n<p>Easy set-up of user tuning presets<br \/>\nFor a CAT transceiver a single press of the TUNE button on the amplifier front panel is all you need.<\/p>\n<p>Transparent (invisible) operation<br \/>\nAfter setting up the user presets (auto tune) for the frequency segments and antennas, the operator will not be involved with tuner operation.<\/p>\n<p>Three kinds of frequency segments, according to antenna bandwidth<br \/>\nThe operator can choose according to the nature of each of the four antennas: Narrow band \u2013 Sharp, Normal \u2013 Regular, and Broadband \u2013 Wide) Also capable of operation at fixed frequencies<\/p>\n<p>Non-volatile memory<br \/>\nNon-volatile memory for user presets (auto tune), independent for the four antennas, the three types of segment width, and more than 1000 random fixed frequencies for each antenna.<\/p>\n<p>User presets<br \/>\nThe user presets are automatically loaded, following frequency and antenna selection changes.<\/p>\n<p>Export (backup) of preset memory<br \/>\nBackup of preset memory to a computer file, import of previously made backup files from a computer to the tuner memory.<\/p>\n<p>Helpful information<br \/>\nInformation about the setting age, and alerts for settings that reach a certain age, defined by the operator in 4 possible age levels.<\/p>\n<p>Power supply and control to the tuner<br \/>\nPower supply and control to the tuner, as well as status return from the tuner are supplied over the coaxial cable between the amplifier and tuner, there is no requirement for additional cables or special control signals from the transceiver (the availability of CAT control from the transceiver will give further advantages to the setup).<\/p>\n<p>Improved electromagnetic compatibility<br \/>\nFull tuning can be completed within 5 seconds (typically 2-3 seconds), at 25 W at the tuner input and less than 6 W at the antenna output; quick tuning (from nonvolatile-memory presets) is completed in less than 0.05 seconds with zero emitted signals.<\/p>\n<p>Input SWR during full tuning cycles<br \/>\nInput SWR during full tuning cycles \u2013 below 2:1, preventing activation of transceiver PA protection.<\/p>\n<p>Input SWR after completing a tuning cycle<br \/>\nInput SWR after completing a tuning cycle \u2013 below 1.5:1 (typically below 1.3:1).<\/p>\n<p>Relays with gold-plated contacts<br \/>\nRelays with gold-plated contacts for excellent receive characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>Relay switching<br \/>\nRelay switching will only take place when no RF current is flowing, preventing contact arcing critical to preventing contact oxidation, surface melting and material transfer (otherwise resulting in poor receiving performance) and to avoid any unwanted widening of the spectrum of signals, emitted during the tuning cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Air-core coils and high-quality ceramic capacitors<br \/>\nAir-core coils (no magnetic materials) and high-quality NP0 (C0G) ceramic capacitors usage throughout the matching circuit.<\/p>\n<p>Harmonic suppression<br \/>\nThe matching network is a low-pass L filter naturally improving harmonic suppression.<\/p>\n<p>Remote installation<br \/>\nACOM 06AT can be located up to 100 m (330 ft) away from the shack (indoors only).<\/p>\n<p>Integrated antenna switch<br \/>\nIntegrated four-way antenna switch \u2013 less coaxial cable, shorter unmatched sections, less losses.<\/p>\n<p>Automatic and manual antenna switching<br \/>\nAntennas can be automatically and manually switched from the amplifier front panel.
