INTRODUCTION
LDG pioneered the automatic, wide-range switched-L tuner in 1995. From its laboratories in
St. Leonard, Maryland, LDG continues to define the state of the art in this field with innovative
automatic tuners and related products for every amateur need.
Congratulations on selecting the LDG Electronics AT-100ProII 100-watt automatic tuner.
The AT-100ProII provides fully- and semi-automatic antenna tuning across the entire HF
spectrum plus 6 meters, at power levels up to 125 watts. 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 tuners you may have considered, including the built-in tuners on many
transceivers.
The AT-100ProII uses latching relays and other power-saving techniques to consume very
little power when not tuning, making it suitable for battery-powered operation.
JUMPSTART, OR “REAL HAMS DON’T READ MANUALS!”
Ok, but at least read this one section before operating the AT-100ProII:
Connect a 50-ohm coax jumper cable from the antenna jack on your transceiver to the
TX
jack on
the back of the AT-100ProII.
Connect your antenna’s 50-ohm coax feedline to the
ANT 1
jack on the rear of the AT-100ProII.
Connect the supplied DC coax cable to the jack marked
12 VDC.
Connect this cable to a DC source
between 11 and 16 volts DC, 500 mA. The jack center tip is positive.
Power up the transceiver, and select the desired operating frequency and mode.
Begin transmitting, any mode
1
.
When the tuning cycle completes, you’re ready to operate!
1 In SSB mode, si mpl y speak into the microphone while transmitting . Tun ing may be performed at up to 125 watts of input power, pro vided that the transceiver
empl oys a “roll -back” circuit to protect it fr om high SWR. For transceivers without roll-ba ck circuits, power should be limited to 25 wat ts when tuning, to avoid
da mag e to the tran smitter or tu ner.
