The LDG AT-100Pro is
the next step in the evolution of the automatic tuner. This desktop
tuner covers all frequencies from 1.8 – 54 MHz, and will automatically
match your antenna in no time. It features a
two-position antenna switch, allowing you to switch instantly between
two antennas.
The AT-100Pro requires just 0.1 watts to operation, but
will handle up to 125 watts, making it suitable for everything from QRP
up to a typical 100 watt transceiver. The
AT-100Pro includes over 2,000 memories for each antenna, automatically
storing tuning configurations for each frequency and band as you use
them. Frequency sensing circuitry lets the AT-100Pro “know” your
operating band and frequency. Whenever you transmit on or near a
frequency you’ve used before, the AT-100Pro can retune from memory
almost instantly.
Rugged and easy-to-read LED bargraphs show power and
SWR, and a Function key on the front panel allows you to access data
like mode and status. The AT-100Pro uses latching relays which retain
the tuned configuration indefinitely even when powered down; current
draw when not tuning is effectively zero.
The AT-100Pro uses LDG’s state-of-the-art
processor-controlled Switched-L tuning network. It will match dipoles,
verticals, inverted-Vs or virtually any coax-fed antenna. With an
optional LDG balun, you can also use longwires or antennas fed with
ladder-line.
Here are a list of Radios
that work with the AT-100Pro.
Control from the front panel is simple and
straightforward; just press Tune while transmitting a carrier, and the
AT-100Pro will begin an automatic tuning cycle. For more integrated
operation, optional interfaces are available for most Icom, Kenwood,
Yaesu and Alinco transceivers. With the interface, a single
button-press transmits a carrier, executes a tuning cycle and returns
the radio to its original power and mode.
