VC-300DLP Antenna Tuner 

 

FEATURES

 

 
The Vectronics VC-300DLP Antenna Tuner optimizes the performance of your antenna and 
transmitter, receiver, or transceiver by providing adjustable impedance matching.  The VC-
300DLP also measures the Power and Standing Wave Ratio (SWR), allowing you to adjust for 
the lowest possible ratio for the selected transmit frequency.  The VC-300DLP  utilizes a 
precision frequency compensated lighted dual movement SWR / power meter which can show 
either peak or average readings.  Also included is a built-in Dummy Load for tuning purposes 
which is easily switched in and out of the circuit.
