The TuneMatic EZ-TUNE For ICOM is a ‘Plug-N-Play’ solution for automatic screwdriver antenna tuning. It is a self-contained antenna controller which automatically adjusts the resonant frequency of a screwdriver/motorized antenna.
TuneMatic EZ-TUNE operates/tunes between 1-60 MHz, and supports a wide variety of screwdriver-type tunable antennas. TuneMatic EZ-TUNE utilizes frequency and SWR measurements to perform the automatic tuning.
Connection to the ICOM AH-4 tuner port allows the rig to perform safe, low-power tuning functions using the Rig ‘Tune’ Button.
External motor control can be connected for manual antenna movement as well as remote tune function. Truly ‘Plug-N-Play’ and no setup required. An excellent solution for those that want a simple automatic screwdriver controller for your ICOM rig.
