[quote=baranger1]…open it up and watch how the ATU tunes the inculded 10 wire antenna.
It is a sight to see the ferrite rods move in the coils as it flattens the SWR. Very cool![/quote]
Most AM BCB ANT tuners I’ve seen for the low power market consist of tapped coils on a toroid with a 12 position switch to select the number of windings included in the matching circuit.
I haven’t seen a moving ferrite tuner since my crystal radio 🙂
Experimental broadcasting for a better tomorrow!
