HF/50 MHz AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER

Lightweight & Compact Antenna Tuner Compatible with Both Long Wire and 50 Ω Antennas

Features

Wide Frequency Coverage

Provides matching across all bands from 1.8 MHz (160 m) to 50 MHz (6 m)*, enabling efficient multiband operation with a single wire antenna. Ideal for portable and field operations where quick antenna setup is essential.

*Wire length requirements: 1.8 MHz band: 30 m  (65.6 ft) or more, 3.5 MHz band and above: 7 m (23 ft) or more. A ground connection is required. Tuning may not be possible, depending on the environment and conditions.

SO-239 Antenna Connector for 50 Ω Antenna

The SO-239 antenna connector provides a direct connection to a 50 Ω antenna. Both long wire and 50 Ω antennas, such as verticals and dipoles, can be used* and are selectable with a switch.

*Do not connect two antennas at the same time to prevent damage to the antenna tuner during transmission.

Compact & Lightweight Body for Portable Operation

The same compact size as the AH-4, 50%* smaller and lighter than the AH-730. Cables can be connected without opening the cover, enabling quick and easy installation.

*Approximately

High Speed Tuning

Simply press the "TUNER" switch on the connected transceiver for fully automatic tuning in 2–3 seconds. The 200-channel memory stores matching settings, enabling re-tuning at the same frequency in approximately one second.

Minimized Interference During Tuning

During tuning, the AH-6 reduces RF output to approximately 0.3 W through the attenuator, minimising interference with other stations.

IP54 Rugged Construction for Outdoor Installation

The body is made of a high-rigidity resin. With a water-resistant structure that includes waterproofing, weather resistance and protection against salt damage, it can be safely installed in various outdoor locations.
