The MAT-30 can operate within the range of 1.8 MHz to 54MHz, at power levels up to 120 watts. It will tune dipoles, verticals, Yagis, or pretty much any antenna powered by coaxial cable. It will match an astonishing range of antennas and impedances, moreManufacturer:mat-tunerReference MAT30YAESU
The MAT-30 is an automatic tuner designed for use with modern YAESU transceivers. Works with some YAESU transceivers that support a YAESU FC-30, FC-40, or FC-50 tuner; a partial list of compatible drives includes: FT-100, FT-857D, FT-897D, FT-450D, FT-891, FT-950, FT-991, FT-991A, FTDX-3000. The operation is the same as the YAESU tuner method, which is simple and convenient.
The mAT-30 can operate within the range of 1.8 MHz to 54MHz, at power levels up to 120 watts. It will tune dipoles, verticals, Yagis, or virtually any coax-fed antenna. It will match an astonishing range of antennas and impedances, far greater than some other tuners I have considered, including the tuners built into many radios. The mAT-30 has 16,000 frequency memories. When tuning at or near a previously tuned frequency, the mAT-30 uses "Memory Tune" to recall the previous tuning parameters in a fraction of a second. If no memorized settings are available, the tuner performs a complete tuning cycle, storing the parameters for memory recall on subsequent tuning cycles on that frequency. In this way, the mAT-30 "learns" as it is used, adapting to bands and frequencies as it goes.
Currently the mAT-30 is not compatible with the FT-817/818. If you operate them, you can choose another tuner - mAT-10, which is specially designed for QRP transceivers and is perfectly compatible with FT-817/818 and other QRP devices.
The mAT-30 connects to the transceiver via its CAT/LINEAR connector to control the tuning cycle, the Tune button on the transceiver controls the tuner. The CAT/LINEAR connector also powers the tuner, so no external power supply is required. Tuning is done when the TUNE button on the front of the transceiver is pressed and held for one second.

OPERATION 1. Briefly press the [TUNE] button to activate the automatic antenna tuner. The "TUNER" icon will appear on the screen. If the frequency of the transceiver is outside the amateur band, the "TUNER" icon will not appear. 2. Hold down the [TUNE] button for one second to start auto tuning. The transmitter will turn on and the "TUNER" icon will flash while tuning is in progress. 3. Tuning will automatically stop when a low SWR is achieved. You can hold down the [TUNE] button for one second while tuning is in progress to cancel auto tuning. 4. To deactivate the automatic antenna tuner, briefly press the [TUNE] button again. 4. To disable the Automatic Antenna Tuner, press the [TUNE] button briefly again.
