Automatic Tuner for Kenwood Transceivers

INTRODUCTION

The mAT-K100 is an automatic tuner intended for use with modern KENWOOD transceivers.
It works with any KENWOOD transceiver that supports an AT-300 or AT-250 KENWOOD tuner.
The interface cable is included. The operating is the same as the method of the KENWOOD tuner,
which is simple and convenient. The mAT-K100 can work within the range of 3MHz to 54MHz.
The mAT-K100 connects to the radio via its tuner jack to control the tuning cycle, the
transceivers tune button controls the tuner. The tuner jack also powers the tuner, so it requires no
external power supply. The mAT-K100 is designed specifically for use with KENWOOD
transceivers. Tuning is performed when the AT or AT TUNE button is pushed on the front of the
transceiver and held for one second.
The mAT-K100 also features advanced memory tuning, providing 16000 memory locations.
When tuning near a previously used frequency it will recall the settings for nearly instant tuning. It
learns your favorite frequencies and bands as you use it. You can also start a tuning cycle
manually whenever necessary.
The mAT-K100 has 16,000 frequency memories. When tuning on or near a previously tuned
frequency, the mAT-K100 uses "Memory Tune" to recall the previous tuning parameters in a
fraction of a second. If no memorized settings are available, the tuner runs a full tuning cycle,
storing the parameters for memory recall on subsequent tuning cycles on that frequency. In this
manner, the mAT-K100 "learns" as it is used, adapting to the bands and frequencies as it goes.
