Ten-Tec Model 228 Antenna Tuner with the Original Manual, New

The Model 228 antenna tuner is an inductive/capacitive network used for matching unbalanced 50 - 75 ohm output impedances of transmitters and transceivers to a variety of loads, both balanced and unbalanced. It operates over a frequency range of 1.8 to 30 MHz. It has a built-in antenna select switch which permits bypassing the tuner or selection of three different antennas. Model 228 has a built-in SWR bridge and meter. Same as Model 227 but with the addition of the SWR bridge/meter.
