INNOVATION AT OUR CORE

TUNED IN SECONDS. HELD ON NEAR ZERO DRAW.

Tuned in seconds. Held on near-zero draw. A highly optimised tuning algorithm matches new frequencies in under five seconds, with previously tuned frequencies recalled near instantly from memory. Custom-designed latching relays hold the match once tuned and draw minimal power during operation, lowering noise and protecting long-term reliability across extended deployments. The 3240 HF Antenna Tuner brings rapid connectivity to teams when it matters most.

MORE INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS

ONE TUNER ACROSS THE HF CHAIN

One tuner, sized for the whole HF chain. The 3240 HF Antenna Tuner directly interfaces with the 3061 and 3062 HF power amplifiers, making it, compatible with the NGT, Envoy, and Sentry-H transceivers already in the field. Able to run attended or remote, the 3240 can run over distances up to 100 m, enabling co-location, tactical security, and providing unmatched in-field tactical advantage.

PROVEN RESILIENCE

QUALIFIED FOR THE DECK AND THE DESERT

Built for the deck and the desert. The 3240 HF Antenna Tuner is sealed to IP66 in a welded aluminium housing that holds 1 kW PEP and average power at full duty cycle for both voice and data, across an operational range of -20 °C to +55 °C. Marine-grade paint, available in haze grey, desert sand, or white, enables tactical camouflage whilst resisting salt and sun damage. Low current latching relays add no heat load once the match is held, protecting reliability through sustained transmit cycles. This is a high-power HF antenna tuner qualified for the conditions a HF programme actually operates in.
