DU 3000 Antenna Tuner 

 

Features 

 

The DU 3000T and DU3000TB tuners optimize the performance of your antenna and 
transmitter or SWL receiver by providing adjustable impedance matching. The DU 
3000 series also measure the Power and Standing Wave Ratio (SWR), which allows 
you to tune the indicated SWR to the lowest possible value for the selected transmit 
frequency.
