About CE
Versions of the AT-130E which display the
"CE" symbol on the serial number seal,
comply with the essential requirements of
the European Radio and Telecommunica-
tion Terminal Directive 1999/5/EC.

FEATURES

Matches all bands
The AT-130/E matches all frequencies on the HF ma-
rine band. For example, the tuner matches a 7 m;
23 feet long-wire antenna across 1.6-30 MHz.
Full automatic tuning
Just push the [TUNE] switch on the transceiver, the
AT-130/E immediately tunes for a minimum SWR on
any frequency in the HF marine band.
HF operation on any size ship
The AT-130/E allows HF operation where antenna el-
ement 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 an-
tenna cables and short-times internal settings. After in-
stallation, you never need to open the cover for main-
tenance.
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 automat-
ically stores the matching conditions for up to 45 fre-
quencies. Retuning for a memorized frequency takes
only approximately 1 second.
Super capacitor for memory backup
Even if the AT-130/E is not used for approximately
1 week, the built-in super capacitor backs up the 45
10
memory contents.
Low power tune up
The AT-130/E emits low output power during tuning.
This feature reduces the possibility of causing interfer-
ence to other stations.
Emergency tuner circuit
To meet with European regulations, the Europe ver-
sion 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.
