INTRODUCTION

 

The mAT-1500Pro is a multipurpose high-power automatic antenna tuner that can match almost 
all transmitters and amplifiers. The maximum RF power allowed is 1500 watts (SSB), and two 
antennas can be connected at the same time. According to the different connected transmitters, 
the  tuner  has  three  working  modes,  YAESU  mode,  ICOM&KENWOOD  mode  and  GENERAL 
mode.  The  tuner  can  automatically  determine  and  match  the  type  of  the  currently  connected 
transmitters to minimize the manual operation and enhance the automation and convenience of 
the wireless communication system.
