INTRODUCTION
The mAT-30 is an automatic antenna tuner specially designed for modern
Yaesu transmitters, the operating is the same as the Yaesu tuner, which is
simple and convenient. Yaesu transmitters will work well with mAT-30 tuners,
those works well with FC-30, FC-40, FC-50 tuners.
Tuner will match an amazing range of antennas and impedances, far greater
than some other tuners you may have considered, including the built-in tuners
on many transmitters.
mAT-30 tuner can only be used for Yaesu transmitter. Some early transmitters,
such as FT-80C, FT-757, can't use the mAT-30 tuner. The FT-817/818 will also
not work with the mAT-30. We have designed a dedicated mAT-10 tuner for
FT-817/818 transmitter, visit our website for relevant information. Web is
