Antenna tuner with swr meter covering at least 135-1000KHz?

Are there any companies or people making/selling an antenna tuner with SWR and power meters than will cover the range of at least 135KHz to 1MHZ or even just to 500KHz?

Are there any that don't need their own power supply?

Are there some good websites for information on making my own?

Thanks, 73, AF5IE

 

The Wavenode WN-2 with a L/M1 sensor will give you 100kHz to 5mH. A little pricy, but that hasn't kept it off my wish list.

Good luck!

5 mH - is that a choke for audio or RF work?

 

Typo.

Must have had inductance on the brain. The Wavenode WN-2 with a L/M1 sensor will give you 100kHz to 5mHz.

P.S. - My variometer is variable from 3.34 to 3.75 mH (calculated @ 136.5 kHz) - if that counts !

 

2H:

Methinks you are in need of a few cups of coffee!

At 5 mHz the sine wave is going to take 33.333-seconds to go through a full cycle! I believe that you really mean 5 MHz!

I don't know what I'd do without you guys..... Hopefully George has got the idea by now !!

Thanks very much. I'll check it out.

What type of antenna do you need to match?

Most MF antennas are of the monopole type, and usually need only a series inductor and in exceptional cases also a matching autotransformer.

The power/SWR sensor frequency response is governed by the number of turns and core material in the bridge coupling transformers.

If the schematics of a 500 kHz marine reserve transmitter or a NDB beacon transmitter are studied, many useful ideas can be gathered.

I found this antenna tuner on FaceBook. located here. https://www.facebook.com/groups/earthprobes

 

Good show! Somebody's definitely doing the LF thing !

Well, for $85 you can buy K5DNL's scope match for 630 or 2200m. I use it with a Hantek 6022BE USB oscilloscope. Using this with VK1SV's Marconi calculator makes it fairly easy. Kind of.....


Good luck !
