Would this style of tuner fit into your ham radio workflow?
It absolutely fixed my issues operating MARS.
No… at least not today. I use an EFHW that’s resonant on 40, 20, 15 and 10. I work qrp only from my QTH. For 17 and 12 I use a vertical radio wire right outside my second story window with only 3 ft of coax as feedline going into the small Elecraft qrp tuner. But, that tuner would be killer on a non-resonant sky-loop.
I understand almost nothing you are talking about but still like to watch your videos. Good editing. :)
Thanks Kev, miss you man.
Nice review. This tuner's wide range really opens the door to a lot of interesting non-resonant antenna designs
I really liked your review as well, Michael. Indeed, I could see mounting this tuner to the RV for all kinds of antenna matching fun.
It looks like that tuner works well, thanks Kevin. I really like the location above the lake looks like plenty of room and a nice high location.
I replaced my LDG AT100PROII with the URT-1 and doubled the power I can use on digital. And, since the match is achieved at the antenna, I have maximum transfer of power. It's not just fooling the transmitter, thinking it has a good match, and struggling with all the reflected power on the feedline. It does take a little getting used pushing the tune button when you change bands or make big frequency changes within the band. Carl has a winner with the URT-1 !
Great presentation of what the CHA URT1 can do! Fantastic!!
Great video. Love the location. Thank you for posting. 73
Thanks for watching!
Grab a pillow to put over that LDG when tuning.
I’ve been running the LDG RT100 which is very similar. My Yaesu ATAS radios send the bias power over coax so I don’t need the control head. I wonder if the URT1 is similar.
Great question, I am not sure
Beginner here and currently looking for a tuner for my MPAS 2.0 and my Icom 705. As far as I understood the main advantage of this tuner is that is tuning near the feed point? Any reasons I would use this over e.g. Icom AH 705 or the MAT 705?
Welcome to the hobby. The two tuners you mentioned are made specifically for Icom. This will make it everything more streamlined for you. The Chameleon tuner is also made by MAT, this means you will be getting the quality you expect. The URT1 will work with any radio combination, and that is one of its advantages. You can use the URT1 at any location throughout your antenna setup. The determining factor will be the antenna you build, buy or setup. 73
@@hamradiowithkevin Thanks a lot, Kevin! Sounds like the URT1 is the more flexible solution, but need to do more research on the AH705 in how far it does streamline my setup with the MPAS 2.0
This tuner does look interesting. As a no code tech, looking to finally upgrade to general, im now considering something like this to add to the shack.
My questions to you is: is it reasonably affordable, and also the smaller yellow unit you had shown price comparison, and would the smaller unit be capable to go upto 6m, or higher, because i like to build antennas, so i could verify everything.
Thanks, and 73s,
John, N8SGM.
The rigexpert yellow version, antenna analyzer cost me almost $400. Handy tool if that fits into your budget.
Why not just run coax all the way and use the remote tuner on the mast at the antenna? Why make the ladder line part of your antenna at all?
This specific antenna was made and designed for the 4:1 balun. And for the contest I did not want to make that change on short notice. Also it would be too much wieght at the top of that mast.
@@hamradiowithkevin I get it, but still. The great thing about a remote tuner is that it only “sees” the antenna, you don’t want it matching the feed line. You want that remote unit right on top of the antenna with little to no feed line. Though I totally understand not changing your set up right now before a contest.
