Nothing beats the convenience of a
dedicated antenna tuner. Matched to your specific rig, you just press
the Tune button on the radio, and the rig and tuner do the rest: reduces
power, transmits a carrier, automatically matches the antenna to the
rig, then restores power and mode. LDG makes several dedicated tuners
using its unique and highly efficient tuning algorithms that will match
virtually any coax fed antenna in seconds.
Kenwood makes some great radios; here at LDG
we love our Kenwoods, but when they stopped producing the AT-300 tuner, they
left us high and dry with no dedicated tuner for the entire Kenwood line. So
if you have a TS-2000, TS-50 or TS-480 or any Kenwood rig that is AT-300
compatible, you’re just out of luck. Of course, most any LDG tuner will work
just fine with a Kenwood rig, but wouldn’t it be great if you could use that
Tune button on the radio, which Kenwood orphaned when they deep-sixed the
AT-300?
LDG’s new KT-100 serves as a dedicated tuner
for Kenwood radios: just press the Tune button on the radio. The LEDs on the
front panel indicate tuning status, and will show a match in seconds, or
even less of you’ve tuned on or near that frequency before; the KT-100 has
2,000 memories for instant recall of the tuning parameters for your favorite
bands and frequencies.
If you have an AT-300 compatible Kenwood
radio, you can simply plug the KT-100 into your transceiver with the
provided cable; the interface powers the tuner, and the Tune button on the
radio begins a tuning cycle. The supplied interface cable makes the KT-100 a
dedicated tuner for most modern Kenwood transceivers. There are no extra
cables to buy, we even include the coax patch cable from the radio to the
tuner so it's ready to go right out of the box.
Flexible, low cost, easy to use and just right
for your Kenwood transceiver, the KT-100 is the latest in a long line of
automatic tuners from LDG that fit in right were you need them the most. And
like all LDG products, the KT-100 comes with a two-year, fully transferable
warranty. Order yours today

* Note for use with
TS-480HX: Kenwood has programmed the 480HX so that if it detects an external
tuner, it will limit the RF power to 100 watts. It is not modifiable as far
as we know. While the KT-100 can be connected to the 480HX, the radio will
never transmit more than 100 watts. We would normally recommend the LDG
AT-200Pro for the TS-480HX if the full 200 watts is required. |
