mAT-125E 

HF-SSB General Automatic Antenna Tuner

   

Instruction Manual Version V3.0     

INTRODUCTION 

mAT-125E  is  a  universal  automatic  antenna  tuner  that  can  be  used  in  most  HF  transceivers.    It 

has a working frequency range of 1.6-54MHz and a maximum allowable RF power of 120 watts. 

It has built-in lithium batteries, does not need external power supply, and is very convenient to use, 

especially  in  outdoor  portable  applications.

 

The  mAT-125E  does  not  need  a  control  cable  to 

connect the transceiver. It only needs an RF cable to connect the transceiver to work well. 

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-125E  has  16,000  frequency  memories.  When  tuning  on  or  near  a  previously  tuned 

frequency,  the  mAT-125E  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.  In  this 

manner, the mAT-125E “learns” as it is used, adapting to the bands and frequencies as it goes. You 

can also start a tuning cycle manually whenever necessary.  The tuner has four fine-tuning buttons. 

After automatic tuning, you can make more fine adjustments manually to get a lower SWR. 

Two 18650 lithium batteries are installed in the interior of the mAT-125E, which provides power 

for the tuner. Because of the use of advanced magnetic retaining relays, the power consumption of 

mAT-125E is very small, the lithium battery can work for a long time after it is fully charged. It is 

very  suitable  for  outdoor  use.

 

Special  chargers  are  provided  with  tuners.  You  must  use  its  own 

charger to charge the tuner. It is dangerous to charge with an incorrect charger.
