Includes 100 ft coax and control cable. The FTN6073 is a fast tune automatic antenna coupler that matches the output of the micom-rm500 500 watt HF radio system to a wide variety of whip and long wire antennas. The coupler matches the antenna impedance to the 50 ohm output impedance of the radio system, with a nominal VSWR of 1.5:1 in the 1.6 to 30 MHz frequency range. A microprocessor circuit checks the antenna matching each time the channel is changed and then automatically switches inductors and capacitors in or out. The tuning data for a given channel is stored in a memory and kept as long as the FTN6073 is on. The coupler is designed to support both conventional and automatic link establishment (ALE) operation and is housed in a weather resistant aluminum case and is designed to withstand severe weather conditions. The FTN6073 is supplied with a one hundred foot coax and a one hundred foot control cable.
