Versatile QRP antenna tuner switching between Pi and Tee configurations with a wide matching range.
Description
LZ1AQ describes a versatile QRP antenna tuner that switches between Pi and Tee configurations with a single toggle. Using two variable capacitors and a seven-switch stepped inductor providing 128 increments (0.16 to 18.7 uH), this compact design handles 3.5 to 28 MHz with excellent matching range. The Pi mode works best for certain impedances while Tee mode proves more universal, matching loads the Pi cannot. Built in a plastic enclosure using salvaged radio capacitors, the tuner operates reliably up to 100 watts with proper antennas, though it's optimized for QRP service with random wires.
