ANTENNA MATCHERS
MN-100 MN-100L
(for 1.5 MHz to 30 MHz)
■ Profile
To put a full size antenna on a yacht or boat is very difficult.
However, these antenna matchers have been designed to
put an antenna in such restrictions of space, and give low
VSWR with short antenna elements on wide frequency range
of 1.5 MHz to 30 MHz. So, you can obtain the best perfor-
mance from the transceiver.
