FEATURES
Matches all bands
The AT-130/E matches any frequency on every HF marine
band. For example, the tuner matches a 7 m; 23.0 feet
long-wire antenna across 1.6-30 MHz.
Full automatic tuning
Just push the [TUNE] switch on a transceiver, the
AT-130/E adjusts immediately to the minimum SWR in any
frequency on any HF marine band.
HF operation on any size ship
The AT-130/E allows you HF operation where antenna
element length is restricted due to space.
Weather resistant
The AT-130/E is housed in a durable, completely weather-
resistant acrylic case with a rubber gasket. The antenna
tuner can be conveniently installed both on the deck or in
the cabin near the antenna element.
Simple installation
Installation is simple. Just connect the control and antenna
cables and short-time internal settings. After installation,
you never need to open the cover for maintenance.
Preset tuning function
This function provides super fast tuning on your most-used
frequency.
45 memories for shorter tuning time
To decrease the tune-up time, the AT-130/E automatically
stores the matching conditions for up to 45 frequencies.
Retuning for a memorized frequency takes only approx.
1 sec.
Super capacitor for memory backup
Even if the AT-130/E is not used for approx. 1 week, the
built-in super capacitor backs up the 45 memory contents.
Low power tune up
The AT-130/E emits low output power during tuning. This
feature reduces the possibility of causing interference to
other stations.
Emergency tuner circuit
(AT-130E)
To meet with European regulations, the Europe version
AT-130E includes an emergency tuner circuit for 2182 kHz
operation. If any signal from the control cable indicates an
abnormal condition, this circuit is automatically selected.
