INTRODUCTION
The mAT-1500ProII is a multipurpose high-power automatic antenna tuner that can match almost
all transmitters and linear amplifiers. The maximum RF power allowed is 1500 watts (SSB), the
frequency range allowed is 1.8-30MHz, and two antennas can be connected at the same time.
According to the different connected transmitters, the tuner has three modes, YAESU, ICOM and
GENERAL. The tuner can automatically determine and match the type of the connected
transmitters to minimize the manual operation.
When the mAT-1500ProII is working in GENERAL mode, in addition to manual operation on the
front panel, it can also be remotely operated. There is an RS232 remote control interface on the
rear panel of the tuner, which can be easily controlled by a computer or another terminal device.
The remote operation function can only be used in GENERAL mode, and this function is not
available in other modes.
The mAT-1500ProII can accurately measure the current RF power and SWR, and display them
on a 4.3-inch high-resolution display. The display can also show information such as the working
status of the tuner. When the tuner is set to BYPASS mode, it can be used as an accurate RF
power & SWR meter.
