Icom AT-140 Tuner

• Comes prewired for simple antenna cable and power connections
• Automatically bypasses tuning to improve frequency reception when connected to the SSB radio
• Designed specifically for e-mail and shortwave listening
• Allows use of the entire antenna for best reception
• Housed in a durable, completely weather-resistant, acrylic case with rubber gaskets
• Install the unit near the antenna element base
• Works well with other Icom marine SSBs like the IC-M710 and the IC-M700PRO
• Automatically stores the matching conditions for up to 45 frequencies
• Re-tuning to a memorized frequency takes about 1 second
• Tune up in less than 3 seconds on any marine High Frequency band
• Emits very little output power (just 300mW) during the tuning process, reducing the possibility of interference with other stations
• Unique pass-thru tuning
