Product Overview
Important Compatibility Notes
Note : For ICOM devices, the tuner only works with transceivers with a standard ICOM 4-pin tuner socket. If your transceiver doesn't have this socket, you won't be able to use it. For non-standard 4-pin ICOM tuner sockets (such as IC-M710, M802, IC-F7000, IC-F8101), you will need to modify the mAT-CI cable before using this tuner.
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 30 watts of digital mode RF signals entering the tuner. The mAT-M200 allows up to 60 watts of digital mode RF signals to pass through the tuner.
The mAT-M200 connects to the transceiver via the mAT-CI (for ICOM) or mAT-CK (for KENWOOD) adapter cable. The transceiver supplies power to the tuner through this cable, communicates with it, and controls its operation. No additional power supply is required.
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 is connected to the ICOM transmitter via the control cable mAT-CI or to the KENWOOD transmitter via the mAT-CK cable. The tuner comes with 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 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 the 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 4pin 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.
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.
The mAT-M200 has 16,000 frequency memories. When tuning on or near a previously tuned frequency, the mAT-M200 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.
Front Panel Indicators:
- ONLINE - Status indicator. Lights up to indicate that the tuner is online, off indicates that the tuner is in bypass
- POWER - Power indicator lights up green when the tuner is powered on and working
Rear Panel Connectors:
- GND - Connected to antenna system ground. Correct and good ground wire can ensure the safe operation of the tuner
- ANTENNA - SO-239 socket, connect antenna with 50 ohm coaxial cable
- RF IN (Max 200W) - SO-239 socket, connected to the transmitter's "ANT" socket, using 50 ohm coaxial cable
- Radio - This socket is connected to the transmitter's "tuner" socket through a 4-pin cable mAT-CI or mAT-CK. The mAT-CI cable comes with the tuner by default
