HF AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER

MODEL KAT-130

TUNE IN YOUR HF MARINE WORLD

Suitable for varies vessels

The versatile KAT-130 can be used with a variety of vessels, even smaller boats that cannot use a long antenna element.

 

Automatic tuning

No manual tuning is needed. Just push the [TUNE] switch on HF marine transceiver; the KAT-130 adjusts the antenna and the

transceiver to the minimum SWR in any frequency on an HF marine band. The KAT-130 allows you to transmit with strong RF

output power, and is perfect for maritime mobile operations.

 

Weather resistant

The KAT-130 is housed in a durable, completely weather-resistant acrylic case with rubber gaskets. This allows it to be

conveniently installed near the antenna element base.

For varies HF marine transceivers

Onwa’s sophisticated KAT-130 easily matches varies HF marine transceivers such as Icom, Kenwood etc. KAT-130 installation is

simple. No adjustments are necessary. Just connect the control cable and antenna wire and go!

Quick tune-up

Improved tuning performance...the tune-up time is less than 15 seconds in any frequency on an HF marine band. In addition, the

KAT-130 has 40 convenient memories to store tuning information. Retuning for a memorized frequency takes about 1.5 seconds.

This allows you quick trouble-free frequency changes.

Low power tune-up

The KAT-130 emits very little output power (just 300 mW) during the tuning process. This reduces the possibility of causing

interference to other stations using the frequency.
