Automatic Tuner For Kenwood&Icom Transceivers

INTRODUCTION

mAT-K100 is a automatic antenna tuner designed specifically for KENWOOD and ICOM
transceivers, when connecting different interface cables, it can work separately with KENWOOD
or ICOM transceivers, just like using their own brand tuners. Interface cables are optional, the
standard configuration of tuners comes with only one interface cable, KENWOOD or ICOM.
When you purchase, you need to choose KENWOOD or ICOM, or both.
When the tuner starts, it can automatically identify whether the KENWOOD transceiver is
currently connected or ICOM , and work with the corresponding software without any settings by
the operator.
The mAT-K100 connects to the transceivers 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 tuner is connected to the KENWOOD transceiver， tuning is performed
when the [AT] or [AT TUNE] button is pushed on the front of the transceiver and held for one
second. For ICOM transceiver, this button is usually [TUNER].
Tuner can work within the range of 1.8MHz to 54MHz, at power levels up to 120 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 radios.
The mAT-K100 has 16,000 frequency memories. When tuning on or near a previously tuned
frequency, the mAT-K100 measures the frequency of incoming RF signals and 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. You can also start a tuning cycle manually
whenever necessary.
Compatible KENWOOD Transceivers: TRC-80, TK-80,TS-2000, 50, 450, 480SAT (not HX), 570,
590, 850, 870, 990, and any radio that supports the KENWOOD AT-250 or AT-300 tuner.
