As a QRP (low-power, 5 W or less) operator, I love gadgets that make my portable work easier and lighter. One of the biggest debates among field QRPers is the need for an antenna tuner. Some operators think using a resonant antenna is lighter and tuners only add extra weight. But there is also a need for flexibility to help you deal with propagation or unexpected openings. Having a lightweight antenna tuner in your backpack can help you make adjustments in the field and allow you to make more contacts.The mAT-10 tuner is designed with QRP field operation in mind. With a single push of a button, it can match nearly any type of coax-fed antenna, from dipoles to verticals to random-length wires and counterpoises, from 160 through 6 meters. This all comes in a 10-ounce package about the size of an average smartphone.
