ATU -100 EXT with the Bearcat 980 SSB CB Tuning a Mag Mount Antenna on a Cookie Sheet

This is an update of a previous video I made about the ATU-100 antenna tuner using my Bearcat 980 SSB. The first half of the video is the same that explains the tuner. I decided to try the tuner on a mag mount car antenna mounted on a cookie sheet to demonstrate the ATU-100's abilities of lowering SWR. Feel free to fast forward to the test if you have watched the first half before. Here's the link to the instructions that came with the ATU-100 EXT tuner: drive.google.com/file/d/1AulO...

I Thought it would be interesting to test this Antenna tuner on an antenna with very high SWR.

[@benwille6680]

Way to go Ridge! Yes, it will be interesting to see what kind of SWR the tuner can get the Tram down to.

Those are cool. The antenna tuner out of the G-90 in a box. It can do loops, longwires, and the efhw things with the 4:1, 9:1, 49:1 64:1 baluns. Those are basically longwires, but the feedpoint is way out of the shack and shielded up to it for better tx, and less noise.

I wonder how the tuner would do on the Ham bands!

[@RidgeHikerAdventures]

Specs say it will work from 1.8MHz to 50MHz.
