5-3. Model MT-1
The MT-1 transformer is designed to provide a proper impedance match between the HF (High Frequency) mobile
antennae and the 50 to 53.5 ohm coaxial feedline. It is particularly useful when the HF Transceiver is one of the new
solid state, broadbanded designs which requires a close match to a 50 to 53.5 ohm non-reactive load. Practically none of
the mobile antennaes currently on the market will match the coaxial feedline closely enough to provide a proper load for
the broadbanded amplifier. With the Atlas MT-1 transformer a tap selection will be found which will provide SWR
readings of 1.4 or less when using the common type mobile antennaes, such as those manufactured by Nutronics, Swan,
and HyGain.
