INTRODUCTION
The mAT-50 is a multipurpose tuner that does not require a control cable. It
consists of two parts, the tuner and the coupler. The model of the tuner is
mAT-50. The coupler is available in two models, mAT-50-Y and mAT-50-M, for
YAESU and ICOM/KENWOOD transmitters respectively.
mAT-50 adopts advanced carrier control technology. The coupler couples the
RF signal, control commands, and DC power together and transmits them to
the tuner via a coaxial cable. So that users no longer need to lay extra control
cable.
By adapting correct couplers, the mAT-50 tuner can be used with Yaesu, ICOM,
or KENWOOD transmitters to achieve simple and convenient "one-key
tuning".
The mAT-50 can also be used as a universal tuner for all transmitters if the
coupler is connected to an external DC power supply and no control cable is
connected. This coupler can be either mAT-50-Y or mAT-50-M. You can
operate the tuner manually.
