mAT-10
Automatic Tuner with QRP Transceivers
Instruction Manual Version V1.0

INTRODUCTION

The mAT-10 is a compact and exquisite tuner designed for YAESU FT-817/818, it can also be
used in other QRP transceivers. When it is connected to FT-817/818 through a dedicated control
cable mAT-CY, it is a dedicated tuner, which can achieve convenient "one-key tuning". If no
control cable is used, it is a universal QRP tuner for all low-power transceivers.
The mAT-10 is connected to the ACC port of the FT-817/818 transceiver through control cable
mAT-CY. The ACC interface allows an external device such as a PC or the mAT-10 to control the
FT-817/818 by sending it serial commands. The mAT-10 has the function of "one key tuning".
When the multi-function key on tuner is pressed, the mAT-10 command FT-817/818 switches to
FM mode, reduce output power, transmit a carrier, initiate a tuning cycle and then restore the
transceiver to its previous mode and power level. This process is automated and does not require
manual operation.
When mAT-10 is used in other QRP transceivers, it does not need control cables and work only by
connecting RF cables. The tuning process can be completed by pressing the Multi-function key on
the panel, its operation is very simple.
The tuner can work within the range of 1.8MHz to 54MHz, at power levels up to 30 watts. It will
tune dipoles, verticals, Yagis, or virtually any coax-fed antenna. It will match an amazing range of
antennas and impedances, far greater than some other tuners you may have considered, including
the built-in tuners on many transceivers.
The mAT-10 has 16,000 frequency memories. When tuning on or near a previously tuned
frequency, the mAT-10 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-10 "learns" as it is used, adapting to the bands and frequencies as it goes. You can also start a
tuning cycle manually whenever necessary.
Two 10440 lithium batteries are installed in the interior of the mAT-10, which provides power for
the tuner. Because of the use of advanced magnetic retaining relays, the power consumption of
mAT-10 is very small, the lithium battery can work for a long time after it is fully charged. It is
very suitable for outdoor use. Special chargers are provided with tuners. You must use its own
charger to charge the tuner. It is dangerous to charge with an incorrect charger.
In addition to tuners, the package of mAT-10 includes control cable mAT-CY, special lithium
battery charger and user manual. They are provided to users along with tuners, and do not need to
be purchased separately. The user manual can also download the latest version directly from our
web page. The control cable mAT-CY can also be used in the mAT-30 tuner. The control cable of
mAT-10 is the same as the control cable of mAT-30.
