Universal Automatic Antenna Tuner

mAT-TUNER mAT-125S

Compact automatic antenna tuner covering 1.8 to 54MHz with up to 120W RF handling on SSB/CW, straightforward front-panel operation and fully automatic or semi-automatic tuning.

RF Power Rating
120W SSB/CW • 30W Digital Modes

During a tuning cycle, transmitter output must be reduced to between 5W and 15W.

The mAT-TUNER mAT-125S is a general-purpose automatic antenna tuner designed for use with virtually all brands and models of HF transceiver. Covering 1.8 to 54MHz, it provides a simple external tuning solution for HF and 6 metre operation.

The tuner supports a maximum RF input of 120W on SSB/CW and 30W when operating digital modes. A full tuning cycle typically takes less than five seconds.

Unlike radio-specific tuners that require a dedicated control interface, the mAT-125S uses the RF signal itself to perform tuning. This makes it a versatile option for stations using different makes and models of transceiver.

FREQUENCY RANGE
1.8 - 54MHz

Covers the HF amateur bands through to 6 metres.

RF POWER
Up to 120W

Rated for 120W SSB/CW operation and up to 30W on digital modes.

TUNING TIME
Under 5 Seconds

A full tuning cycle completes in less than five seconds under normal conditions.

OPERATING MODES
Automatic or Semi-Automatic

Choose between automatic SWR-triggered tuning or manually initiated tuning.

Flexible Operation

Fully Automatic or Semi-Automatic Tuning

In Fully Automatic Mode, the mAT-125S can automatically begin a tuning cycle when the detected SWR exceeds 2.0, provided the TUNE/BYPASS switch is left in the TUNE position.

In Semi-Automatic Mode, tuning is initiated by moving the front-panel TUNE/BYPASS switch from BYPASS to TUNE while transmitting a suitable low-power carrier.

Front Panel

Simple, Direct Control

A series of LEDs provides a quick indication of the current SWR, while a separate PWR LED confirms the tuner's operating state.

Dedicated TUNE/BYPASS and ON/OFF switches provide direct control without requiring a radio-specific control cable.

Straightforward Station Integration

Separate ANT and RF IN UHF sockets connect the tuner between your transceiver and antenna feed line.

A ground terminal is provided for the station ground connection, while the DC input accepts 12 to 14V DC.

Important Tuning Power Note

Set the transceiver to between 5W and 15W while performing a tuning cycle. Do not exceed 15W during tuning, as excessive tuning power may damage the tuner.

Automatic and Semi-Automatic Tuning

FULLY AUTOMATIC
SWR-Triggered Tuning

With the TUNE/BYPASS switch in TUNE, the mAT-125S automatically begins tuning when detected SWR exceeds 2.0.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC

Tuning begins when the operator moves the TUNE/BYPASS switch from BYPASS to TUNE while transmitting the required carrier.

Important Tuning Power

Use a steady carrier in FM, CW or FSK at between 5W and 15W when tuning. Do not exceed 15W during a tuning cycle.

Outdoor Use

The mAT-125S is not waterproof. Protect the tuner from rain and moisture when using it in portable or outdoor installations.
