TuneMatic. Automatic Motorized Antenna Controller. Kenwood TS-480 series

This TuneMatic controller is for the Kenwood 480 series only. Is a self-contained antenna controller which will automatically adjust the resonant frequency of a screwdriver/motorized antenna. Operates over a range of 1-60 MHz, and supports a wide variety of screwdriver-type tunable antennas. Utilizes both SWR detection and pulse position measurements of the antenna to perform the proper tuning, and keeps track of the parameters of the antenna by storing the tuning data in a series of internal reserved memory banks, based on frequency and bandwidth.

Is independent of rig make and model and will support any HF rig with a PTT control line. Universal controller of motorized/screwdriver antennas for modern and legacy transceivers.

Works with any HF radio that contains a PTT line and switched DC power. Antenna motor power not drawn from transceiver (does not load rig external DC output). Unique learning technology; the more you program it, the smarter it becomes.

Utilizes both pulse and SWR sensing technology. Supports both manual and fully automatic operation. 15 year data retention; uses non-volatile EEPROM memory, with over 1 million r/w cycles. Optional automatic RF amplifier bypass during auto-tuning while rig is keyed.

Triple-speed motor control for fine-tuning. Programmable motor current limit sensing. Optional LCD remote display (future feature). Morse code alert and status messages. Automatic rollback on pulse or power failure.

Triple safety using motor over-current, soft limit, and missing pulse detection. RFI-protected, optically isolated connections for remote head. Surge/polarity protected 12V DC power input. Remote power on/off from rig control.

Factory options for interfacing various radios. Supplied with: Main unit, remote, 14' extension cable and Kenwood 480 interface. DESIGNED & MANUFACTURED IN THE U. Kenwood TS-480 series" is in sale since Sunday, September 13, 2015.
