Simple ATU

Post by Andrew (grayhat) »

Covers all bands from 80m up w/o any band switching, for QRP it can be built using polyvaricons, in effect the hard to find parts are the twin air variable capacitors

and here is a nice version

this ATU is easy to turn into a remote one since there's no band switching it's just a matter of using stepper motors or R/C servos to turn the variable capacitors plus a couple of relays for the hi/lo Z switching and for the ATU bypass (see second link above)
