Automatic Magnetic Antenna Tuner - A Magnetic Loop Antenna is a resonant circuit employing a large inductor and adjustable capacitor. Efficiency depends on the inductor's size relative to wavelength. A Magnetic Loop Controller adjusts antenna tuning in real-time, syncing with Transceiver VFO movements. It communicates with various radios, enabling seamless tuning. Stepper motor resolution ensures accurate capacitor positioning, crucial for antenna performance. The Controller's firmware offers diverse functionality, enhancing user experience and antenna efficiency.

3 Foot Box Loop Antenna - These antennas are larger versions of the small loop antennas that were part of the cardboard back panel of older AC/DC five tube AM radios. Loop antennas of this type were popular in the very early days of radio. They are still useful today for long distance reception of AM radio stations
