Note
The IT-100 provides semi-automatic antenna tuning across the entire HF spectrum plus 6 meters, at power levels up to 125 watts. It will tune dipoles, verticals, Yagis, or virtually any coax-fed antenna. It will match an wide range of antennas and impedances.
The IT-100 is similar to other LDG tuners, but is specially engineered to integrate with Icom HF radios. The IT-100 connects to the external tuner port on the back of the radio. It takes advantage of this interface to simplify the tuning process -- one button push is all that is needed in order to complete a tuning cycle.
The IT-100 is powered by the transceiver’s tuner interface itself. No additional power cable required to use the tuner. Latching relays are used, so it consumes no power when not tuning.
Compatable with the: IC-7000, IC-706 (all), IC-718 (select AH-4), IC-746, and most ICOM radios that are AH-3 or AH-4 compatible.
Specifications

– Latching relays for ultra-low power operation.
– 2,000 memories for instantaneous frequency and band changing.
– Controlled from ICOM TUNER/CALL button on radio. Powered from ICOM radio.
– Tuning time: 0.1 to 6 seconds full tune, 0.1 seconds memory tune.
– 1.8 to 54.0 MHz coverage. Built-in frequency sensor.
– Tunes 4 to 800 ohm loads (16 to 150 on 6M), 16 to 3200 ohms with optional 4:1 Balun.
– For dipoles, verticals, Vees, beams or any coax-fed antenna.
– Includes IC-7K interface cable.
– Optional external Balun allows tuning of random length, long wire or ladder line fed antennas.
Note: 125 watts is the absolute maximum rating. Damage will occur if this power level is exceeded.
