The US company SGC develops and manufactures radios and accessories for mobile use on shortwave. The products were developed mainly for commercial users, and therefore are very solid and easy to operate. Among radio amateurs SGC ist most known for their robust automatic antenna tuners "SmarTuner".
Tuning without power supply? Now possible with the new SG-211, tuning has never been easier. Just connect a cable to the tuner, connect antenna and go.The tuner uses four internal AA size batteries, which last usually for five years.
With it's up to date design using latching relays the tuner requires only extremely low power, and that only while actually tuning. A LED shows the sate after tuning. The wide impedance range from 0.3 to 6000 Ω matches any antenna. The SG-211 offers connectors for end-fed wires or paralel wire fed dipoles, with a few limitations also coax-fed antennas can be used as well. Wires (or rods) from 2.5m length on can be tuned without problems and even used on 80m, from 7.5m on useable also on 160m. The tuner can be used up to 50MHz (6m). Max. transmit power is 60W PEP or CW, on low bands max. 30W.
Tuning lasts approx. 2.5 seconds, once found settings are stored in 256 memories, later tuning on the same frequency works much faster.
'Master Antenna Controller', automatic antenna tuner, antenna switch and SWR/power meter all in one. With the MAC-200 you can connect and select up to 5 antennas, three of them coaxial, one with parallel wire and one end-fed wire. The built-in tuiner tunes all antennas automatically. Like with other SGC tuners once found settings are stored in memory, reducing the tuning time when the same frequency is used next time. Frequency range 1.8 to 60 MHz, 1.5 to 200 Watt PEP. Impedance range 5 to 1000 Ohm, longwire from 0.2 to 5000 Ohm. Requires supply voltage 13.8V, approx. 230mA.
Two analog instruments show SWR and power (selectable 20/200 W). Additional controls for 'lock' and 'reset', similiar to 'SGC SMartlock', if the automatic tuning should be stopped or restarted manually.
Desktop case, 170 x 60 x 270mm, weight approx. 2.5Kg.

A new SGC tuner, very good performance with QRP radios like Yaesu FT-817, K2 or SG-2020. Power range 1.5... 200 watts PEP, 170 memories, manual tuning without transmitting is poosible! Average DC current 230mA only. Frequency range 1.8-30 MHz, minimum antenna length 3m (9ft.) for 7 ... 30 MHz. This tuner has NO waterproof housing as all other SGC tuners have, thus a very reasonable price is possible.

Small control box featuring the following control capabilities for SG-230, SG-237 and SG-239:
Suited for all Smartuner for DC feed of the tuner over the coaxial cable. No additional DC cable required! Isolation>80dB up to 30MHz,>60dB up to 60MHz. Also suitable for DC feeding of relays, amplifiers etc. direcdtly at the antenna. max. Power 500 Watts. Kit contains two units for a typical installation.
Used to supply power to antenna tuners or amplifiers or for remote control of solenoids over the coax cable. Usually a pair of these Bias-Ts is used, one in the shack to source the DC power, one at the remote end (DC sink).
Frequency range 1-60MHz, max. 50V/1A. Includes DC connector 5.5mm.
