Product Overview
The mAT-10 is a compact and exquisite tuner designed for YAESU FT-817/818, it can also be used in other QRP transceivers. When it is connected to FT-817/818 through a dedicated adapter cable mAT-CY, it is a dedicated tuner, which can achieve convenient "one-key tuning". If no adapter cable is used, it is a universal QRP tuner for all low-power transceivers.
If you wish to use it with other transmitter models, including Yaesu transmitters, it cannot operate in dedicated mode; it can only function as a general-purpose tuner. If you wish to select a suitable dedicated tuner for the YAESU FTX-1 Field QRP transmitter, please choose our other tuner, mAT-1F.
The mAT-10 is connected to the ACC port of the FT-817/818 transceiver through adapter cable. The ACC interface allows an external device such as a PC or the mAT-10 to control the FT-817/818 by sending it serial commands. The mAT-10 has the function of "one key tuning". When the multi-function key on tuner is pressed, the mAT-10 will automatically control the start-up tuning of transceiver.
The mAT-10 is powered by a built-in lithium battery, allowing it to operate for extended periods without an external power source. It uses the most common Type-C USB charging interface for charging.
When mAT-10 is used in other QRP transceivers, it does not need adapter cables and can work only by connecting RF cables. The tuning process can be completed by pressing the Multi-function on the panel, its operation is very simple.
Panel Description
SWR & Battery Indicator
When the tuner is turned on, the three lights show the current SWR. When the tuner is turned off, after pressing the multi-function key, these indicators show battery's level.
Online/Bypass
The tuner is online when the indicator lights up. When the indicator lights out, it means that the tuner is in bypass state.
Tuning
When the tuner starts the tuning process, the indicator lights up. This indicator lights out to indicate the end of the tuning process.
Power Indicator
When the tuner is on, lit green. When the tuner is charged, it is lit red. If it flashes quickly, means that the battery is dead. When the battery is fully, it will go out.
Multi-function key
The Multi-function key has power switch, Online/Bypass, start tuning cycle, battery power level display function.
The mAT-10 has only one button, which can realize multiple functions. Whether it's for FT-817/818 or other transceivers, this button has the functions of switching power supply, starting tuning, switching online/bypass status, etc. The lower half of the tuner has three indicator lights, which are used to indicate "online/bypass", "tuning process" and "power supply".
Technical Features
The tuner can work within the range of 1.8MHz to 54MHz, at power levels up to 30 watts. It will tune dipoles, verticals, Yagis, or virtually any coax-fed antenna. It 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 radios.
The mAT-10 has 16,000 frequency memories. When tuning on or near a previously tuned frequency, the mAT-10 uses "Memory Tune" to recall the previous tuning parameters in a fraction of a second. If no memorized settings are available, the tuner runs a full tuning cycle, storing the parameters for memory recall on subsequent tuning cycles on that frequency.
Battery and Charging
Two 10440 lithium batteries are installed in the interior of the mAT-10, which provides power for the tuner. Because of the use of advanced magnetic retaining relays, the power consumption of mAT-10 is very small, the lithium battery can work for a long time after it is fully charged. It is very suitable for outdoor use.
Important: Before the first use or after the battery is replaced, the tuner must be charged by the charger to activate the internal protection circuit before it can be used.
Charging Information
The mAT-10 uses a TYPE-C charger to charge through the charging socket at the bottom. A TYPE-C charging cable is included with the tuner, but the charger is not included. Customers can use a mobile phone charger to charge it.
As you can see, the shell of the mAT-10 is carved out of a whole piece of aluminium, its surface is oxidized to black, and the text on the front panel is carved by laser. It's very small, delicate, beautiful and portable. We believe you will like it.
Accessories
This is the adapter cable mAT-CY of the mAT-10 used to connect the YAESU FT-817/818 transceiver. It can also be used by mAT-30 to link other YAESU transmitters. It is provided with the tuner and does not need to be purchased by the user. The adapter cable is a cable with standard miniDin 8 pin plug and it is the same data cable as the mAT-30 tuner. When tuners are used in other transceivers, there is no need to connect adapter cable.
