ICOM AT-140 HF Automatic Antenna Tuner
The Icom AT-140 is an antenna tuner designed for use with marine radios. Here are some key features of the AT-140:
- Frequency Range: It operates in the frequency range of 1.6 MHz to 30 MHz (with a 7-meter or 23.0-foot antenna element or longer).
- Power Handling: The AT-140 can handle a maximum input power of 150 watts (PEP) or 100 watts continuous.
- Automatic Tuning: It tunes automatically in approximately 2 to 3 seconds under general conditions, with a maximum of 15 seconds. For re-tuning to a memorized frequency, it takes about 1 second.
- Tuning Accuracy: The automatic tuning accuracy achieves an SWR of 2.0:1 (except for multiples of 1/2 λ).
- Antenna Connector: It features an SO-239 connector (50 Ω).
- Operating Temperature Range: The AT-140 can function in temperatures ranging from -30°C to +60°C (or -22°F to +140°F).
The AT-140 is recommended as an ideal companion for the Icom IC-M802 Single Side Band marine radio. It also works well with other Icom SSB marine radios such as the IC-M710 and IC-M700PRO. If you’re setting sail, this tuner will help keep your radio communication shipshape! 🚢📻
