FlexRadio Tuner Genius Automatic hf tuner 2 kw

The Tuner Genius XL is a fully automatic high power antenna tuner for any transceiver. The maximum transmit power is 2000W PEP (6m: 1500W). Tuning takes place with a reduced power from a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 200 watts. The tuner automatically matches antennas with an SWR up to 1:10. For antennas with unfavorable SWR, the transmit power must be reduced, see table. Once the L/C combinations are found, they are stored, so the tuning time for known frequencies is only 20 ms. With unknown frequencies, tuning can take between 2 and 12 seconds.

Various protective devices facilitate operation and prevent damage to the Tuner Genius. For example, it warns of too low drive power, signals outside the allowable frequency range, too high SWR and too high power. The 4.5" color LC display shows the operating status and operation (touch display). The front panel controls also allow manual tuning or antenna switching.

A wide range of remote control options are available. A LAN connection ensures very easy integration into your own station, for example when using transceivers from the FlexRadio FR-6000 series, also together with the PowerGenius power amplifier.
Other interfaces such as RS232 (serial) or CI-V (Icom) or band signals (pin to band) allow the use of the Tuner Genius with almost all transceivers. Even without CAT control, the internal frequency counter can automate most tasks.

The Tuner Genius is powered with 12 - 16 VDC (max. 2A), all RF connectors are PL sockets with insulation. teflon.

There are two versions to choose from

• FR-TGXL-S2: SO2R (Síngle Op, 2 Radio) with a switching matrix for two transceivers and two antennas with automatic antenna selection.
• FR-TGXL-X3:for one transceiver and three antennas selected automatically or manually

• This exceptional 'Signature' series tuner was developed by 4O3A as part of its collaboration with FlexRadio. The Genius tuner is an ideal match for the Flex-6000 series transceivers, even together with the Power Genius PA. However, the tuner can be used just as easily with any other transceiver.
  
  Thanks to the high degree of automation, the hectic operation of COntest is significantly simplified. The genius tuner is also available in the "SO2R" version (Single Op, 2 Radio). Here, two transceivers and two antennas can be connected at the same time; switching occurs via remote control via serial LAN interface or individual signals from transceivers. Alternatively, the tuner is available in a "1x3" version. in which a transceiver and up to three antennas are connected. During operation, one or the other antenna is selected depending on the band.
  
  In general, operation can be fully automatic; Thanks to the large variety of interfaces, almost all brands of shortwave radios can be used. In parallel, manual operation is of course possible at any time. The touch display (4.5 inch LCD) and three rotary controls ensure clear operation of the Genius tuner.
  
  The large tuning range allows the operation of antennas up to an SWR of 10:1, but under extreme conditions only with reduced power.  Depending on the frequency, up to 2000 W PEP are possible even with a mismatch of up to 5:1.
