mAT-tuner - mAT-M200
The new mAT-M200 is specially designed for ICOM and KENWOOD brand transmitters with RF power not higher than 200W (SSB).
This tuner is also a great choice for users who like to operate the transmitter in digital modes such as FT8, CW and RTTY. For most tuners, it is not possible to withstand 100 watts of digital mode RF signals entering the tuner. The mAT-M200 allows up to 100 watts of digital mode RF signals to pass through the tuner.
The mAT-M200 has a working frequency range of 1.8-54 MHz and a maximum allowable RF power of 200 watts. As an external antenna tuner, it can be connected to an ICOM transmitter with the included mAT-CI control cable or to a KENWOOD transmitter with the optional mAT-CK cable. The tuner comes standard with the mAT-CI cable by default.
The transmitter supplies power to the tuner through this cable, communicates with it and controls the operation of the tuner. The tuner does not require an additional power supply. The tuner is compatible with ICOM and KENWOOD tuners, and users can easily control the tuner using the [TUNE] or [AT] buttons on the panel of the radio equipment. This makes the operation of this tuner very convenient.
For ICOM devices, the tuner only works with transmitters with a standard ICOM 4-pin tuner socket. If your transmitter doesn't have this socket, you won't be able to use it. If your transmitter has a non-standard 4-pin ICOM tuner socket, such as IC-M710, M802, IC-F7000, IC-F8101, you will have to modify the mAT-CI cable so that it can be connected to the TUNER of these transmitters cable socket before you can use this tuner. The same goes for KENWOOD devices, but their TUNER socket is 6-pin. When the tuner is powered on and started, it will detect whether it is currently linked to an ICOM device or a KENWOOD device and automatically match it.
Please note: if you want to modify the control cable, be sure to read the operation manual of these transmitters carefully to confirm that the order of each pin of the cable is accurate. Incorrect modifications may damage the transmitter and tuner and is not covered by any warranty.
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.
