Product Description:
- The mAT-30 is an automatic tuner intended for use with modern Yaesu transceivers.It works with some Yaesu transceiver that supports an FC-30,FC-40 or FC-50 Yaesu tuner;a partial list of compatible units includes:FT-100,FT-857,FT-897,FT-450D,FT-891.The interface cable is included.The operating is the same as the method of the Yaesu tuner, which is simple and convenient. The mAT-30 can work within the range of 3MHz to 54MHz.
-
The mAT-30 connects to the radio via its CAT/LINEAR jack to control the
tuning cycle;the transceivers Tune button controls the tuner.The
CAT/LINEAR jack also powers the tuner,so it requires no external power
supply.The mAT-30 is specially engineered to integrate with your Yaesu FT-100/857/897/450D/891 HF radio.Tuning is performed when the TUNE button is pushed
on the front of the transceiver and held for one second.
- The mAT-30 provides automatic antenna tuning across the entire HF spectrum plus 6 meters,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 impedance,far greater than
some other tuners you may have considered,including the built-in tuners
on many radios.
- The mAT-30 is specially engineered to integrate with your Yaesu FT-100/857/897/450D/891 HF radio.The mAT-30 connects to the CAT(Computer Automated Transceiver) port
on the back of the radio.The CAT interface allows an external device
such as a PC or the mAT-30 to control the FT-100/857/897/450D/891 by
sending it serial commands.The mAT-30 takes advantage of this interface
to simplify the tuning process --one button push is all that is needed
in order to switch the radio to FM mode,reduce output power, transmit a
carrier, measure the transmit frequency,and then restore the radio to
its previous mode and power level!
-
The mAT-30 also features advanced memory tuning,providing 16000 memory
locations;when tuning near a previously used frequency it will recall
the settings for nearly instant tuning.It learns your favorite
frequencies and bands as you use it.You can also start a tuning cycle
manually whenever necessary.
-
The mAT-30 has16,000 frequency memories.When tuning on or near a
previously tuned frequency,the mAT-30 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-30 "learns" as it is the bands and
frequencies as it goes.

AN IMPORTANT WORD ABOUT POWER LEVELS:
-
The mAT-30 is rated at 125 watts maximum power input at most. Many ham
transmitters and transceivers, and virtually all amplifiers, output well
over 125 watts. Power levels that
significantly exceed specifications will definitely damage or destroy your mAT-30.
-
If your tuner fails during overload, it could also damage your
transmitter or transceiver. Be sure to observe the specified power
limitations
Package List:
- 1 x mAT-30 HF-SSB Automatic Antenna Tuner
- 1 x Connecting cable
Special Explanation:
After
actual comparison test,mat-30 is the only tuner that can tune the
antenna with SWR higher than 3 when FT-891 is matched,even the Yaesu
brand tuner can't do it.
