Introducing the Z-100A Automatic Tuner 

 

The Z-100A automatic antenna tuner is similar to other LDG tuners you may already be 

familiar with; it is a precision instrument that will provide many years of quality service.  

What makes this tuner different is that it is specifically designed for Icom line of 
transceivers. With ease-of-operation in mind, this tuner is powered directly by the interface 
on the back of the radio; no need to worry about any additional power connections. Also a 
single push button switch is all that’s needed to complete the tuning process! 
 
The Z-100A also features low power consumption since it uses latching relays which require 
no power once it’s tuned. 
 
Before actual use, we urge the user to read the entire manual to ensure safe operation and 
long life of the Z-100A. With proper care this tuner will provide many hours of enjoyable 
operation.
