TuneMatic Motorized Antenna Controller

TuneMatic is a self-contained antenna controller which automatically adjusts the resonant frequency of a screwdriver/motorized antenna. TuneMatic operates anywhere between 1-60 MHz, and supports a wide variety of screwdriver-type tunable antennas. TuneMatic utilizes frequency measurement, SWR detection, and antenna position to perform the proper tuning, and stores the tuning data in a series of internal reserved memory banks, based on frequency and bandwidth. The TuneMatic is independent of rig make and model and will typically support any HF rig with a PTT control line. TuneMatic is supplied with a backit wired remote button panel, which contains all the functions necessary to operate TuneMatic from the driver’s seat.

Please specify rig type (make and model) in the comments when purchasing.

FEATURES

– Works with any HF radio that contains a PTT line and switched DC power. – Antenna motor power not drawn from transceiver (does not load rig external DC output). – Minimized key times when operating- reduces transmit carrier time and band interference issues. – Simplified ‘plug-n-play’ operation. – Unique learning technology; the more you program it, the smarter it becomes. – Operates multiple antennas:(TarHeel, HI-Q, Scorpion, Diamond). – Internal frequency, pulse count, and SWR sensing technology. – Supports both manual and fully automatic operation. – Continuous 1-60 MHz range. – 3000 memories, frequency/bandwidth dependent. – Utilized non-volatile EEPROM memory, with over 1 million r/w cycles, with over 15 year retention. – OPTIONAL automatic RF amplifier bypass during auto-tuning; eliminates need to turn off amp during tuning. – Self-calibrating PARK feature. – Multi-speed motor operation; triple-speed motor control for fine-tuning. – Programmable motor current limit sensing. – Remote button interface- optically isolated RFI protected. – Morse code alert and status messages. – Automatic rollback on pulse or power failure; operates during antenna pulse sensor failure. – Triple safety using motor over-current, soft limit, and missing pulse detection. – Surge/polarity protected 12V DC power input. – Powers on/off from rig power button. – Will interface multiple radios, such as: Icom,Kenwood, Yaesu, and Elecraft. – Firmware field upgradable; seamless, no re-programming necessary when upgrading. – One-year parts and workmanship warranty.
