The MAT-705Plus is a very small and powerful tuner for portable shortwave devices, specially designed for the Icom IC-705.
The MAT-705 is an antenna tuner specifically for the Icom IC-705, with a usable frequency range of 1.8 to 54 MHz. Whether it's a vertical, dipole or directional antenna - the MAT-705 tunes it. It has extremely low power consumption.
The MAT-705 is powered by an internal lithium battery, so it does not draw power from the radio! The tuner's relays are bi-stable, meaning they do not draw current after switching, and if the frequency is not changed in the next few minutes, the MAT-705 can be completely switched off; the found setting is maintained by the bi-stable relays. Once a tune is found, the small tuner automatically remembers the settings; a maximum of 16000 memories are available. This greatly accelerates the tuning process.
Operation is fully automatic, if you have set it in your radio's menu, see operating instructions (Tune on PTT). The required control cable is included. The internal battery is recharged via the USB socket on the front panel. The MAT-705 tuner is housed in a robust aluminum casing, so it can travel with the IC-705.
