====== Antenna Tuner Model 228 ====== {{228.jpg?150|}}{{228rear.jpg?150|}} ===== Description ===== 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. ===== Specifications ===== ***Circuit:** T network ***RF Power:** 200 watts, intermittent; 100 watts continuous ***Capacitor Voltage Rating:** 1 KV ***Inductor:** 47 taps, 18 gauge silver-plated wire on a 2" diameter core ***Input Impedance:** 50 - 75 ohms, unbalanced ***Output:** Matches most loads, balanced and unbalanced.
