FEATURES
Weather resistant
The AT-141 is housed in a durable, completely
weather resistant ASA case, with a rubber gasket. The
antenna tuner can be conveniently installed near the
antenna element.
The AT-141 matches all frequencies on the HF marine
band. For example, the tuner matches a 7 m long-wire
antenna across 1.6–30 MHz.
Full automatic tuning
Just push the [TUNE] key on the transceiver, and the
AT-141 immediately tunes for a minimum SWR on any
frequency in the HF marine band.
HF operation on any size ship
The AT-141 allows HF operation where antenna ele-
ment length is restricted due to space.
Simple installation
Installation is simple. Just connect the control and an-
tenna cables. You never need to open the cover.
45 memories for shorter tuning time
To decrease the tune-up time, the AT-141 automati-
cally stores the matching conditions for up to 45 fre-
quencies. Retuning a memorized frequency takes ap-
proximately 1 second.
Super capacitor for memory backup
Even if the AT-141 is not used for approximately 1
week, the built-in super capacitor backs up the con-
tents of the 45 memories.
Low power tune up
The AT-141 emits low output power during tuning. This
feature reduces the possibility of causing interference
to other stations.
Tuner Through function
The Tuner Through function is built into the AT-141.
This function helps improve receiver gain, depending
on the antenna element length used, and the operat-
ing frequency.
