The 3040 Automatic Antenna Tuner is a low profile automatic tuning whip antenna rated for 125 W PEP across the 2 to 30 MHz band, tuning new frequencies in one second average for mobile HF voice and data.
New frequencies in one second average, memory tune in less than 150 ms with unlimited memory capacity.
125 W PEP RF power handling for voice and data across the full 2 to 30 MHz band.
Typically 1.5:1 or less into a 50 ohm system for efficient power transfer.
Integral active wideband receiver amplifier improves scanning sensitivity across the HF band.
Supports 2G and 3G ALE and Frequency Hopping, with transparent integration into Codan HF transceivers.
Fully waterproof and compliant to MIL-STD-810F for temperature, immersion, vibration, and dust. Designed to MIL-STD-461.
Compact 147 x 167 x 240 mm form factor weighing 3.15 kg including spring and whip, on an M14 stud mount.

3040 Automatic Antenna Tuner gives mobile HF crews an automatic tuning whip antenna that keeps the channel ready as the mission moves. Across military vehicle fleets and commercial remote operations, a tuner that resolves a new frequency in one second average and rides out vibration, dust, and immersion keeps voice and data flowing when conditions turn hostile. Rated to 125 W PEP across the 2 to 30 MHz band and built to MIL-STD-810F, the 3040 Automatic Antenna Tuner is engineered to tune fast and stay on air.
