AMERITRON True Legal Limit TM Tuner
AMERITRONs ATR-30 True Legal
Limit TM roller inductor antenna tuner is ham
radios toughest! Itll handle 3KW PEP or
1500 Watts continuous carrier output on all
modes and all HF bands into most antennas
-- even on 160 Meters where most antenna
tuners fail.
Its perfect for Ameritrons most powerful amplifiers where the ATR-30 just loafs.
All band coverage lets you operate 1.8-
30 MHz including all MARS and WARC
bands.
Super High Current Roller Inductor
Youll see Ameritrons new super high
current air core roller inductor. Its edge
wound from a thick solid copper strip and
silver plated. This produces a large surface
area and a massive conductor. It can carry
huge circulating RF currents and withstand
tremendous heat thatll melt or burn ordinary roller inductors.
A gear driven turns counter and crank
knob gives you precise inductance control.
Two 500 pf Tuning
Capacitors
Two 500 pf the highest
of any antenna tuner variable transmitting capacitors
give you no-arc wide range impedance
matching for true high power performance.
6:1 vernier reduction drives makes capacitor tuning smooth and easy.
Super Balun, 6 position Antenna Switch
Super heavy duty three core choke balun
lets you match virtually any balanced feedline antenna without core saturation.
A 6 position antenna switch lets you
select your desired operating antenna.
Read true Peak Power
Ameritrons active electronic true peak
reading meter accurately reads forward and
reflected power and SWR simultaneously on
a lighted Cross-Needle meter.
Roomy Cabinet maintains High-Q
Roomy extra-strong .080 inch thick aluminum cabinet gives highest efficiency and
lowest loss. 13 1/4Wx5 5/8 Hx17 1/2 D inches.

AMERITRON's SDA-100 may be the
best built, best looking, best performing
HF mobile screwdriver antenna in the
world! When properly installed on your
vehicle this antenna provides coverage from
80 through 10 Meters with a 6 foot whip.
Remove the whip for 40 through 6 Meters.
What makes our antennas stand above
all the rest is that our CNC machined components are from aircraft aluminum or stainless steel and blueprinted, meaning you can
take antennas apart and mix them up, then
reassemble and they all work the same.
Our fiberglass coil form is approximately 2 inches in diameter. Other antenna
builders know fiberglass is better but they
choose not to use it because of the expense
and difficulty in machining. We use 14
gauge wire for high power capability,
wound at eight turns an inch for maximum
efficiency. We machine groove our coils so
they will not loosen up or jam they won't
wear out, for years of trouble free service!
New Lexan cover is super durable and
protects your Ameritron screwdriver for
years of trouble-free service.
The decoupler we use is CNC machined
for tight tolerances with custom fingerstock designed to contact 3 turns of coil all
the time with over 25 pounds of combined
contact pressure. With this design you can
run up to 1.2 kilowatts PEP, trouble free.
It's so superior to anything else on the market that we put our outstanding AMER-
ITRON warranty behind it.
We use a new heavy duty Pittman commercial 12 volt gear motor, which is very
durable and quiet while receive tuning.
This motor is super heavy duty for years of
trouble-free service. Antennas come with
the sensors already installed so if you
decide to add an auto controller now or
later, everything is ready.
The AMERITRON SDA-100 includes:
Up/Down switch; 5 feet of motor DC
cable with detachable weather sealed connector; decoupling toroid matching coils.
The SDA-100 comes in a handsome
black finish, using the Dupont
Basecoat/Clearcoat system.
Optional accessories:
SDM-100, $75.
Stainless steel flange mount base
bracket , with multiple pre-punched
holes. The SDA-100 mounting rod is
