Today i installed my new CG3000 automatic tuner on my EndFett antenna.
I really must say that its a great and fast tuner.
On the 40m band it needed a ground wire, so i installed an extra ground wire of 10.5m long.
Testing it with FT8 and yep, the first time i was heard in Australia 🙂

It Covers all HAM bands from 1.8-30 Mhz continuously just using a 8 meters or longer wire antenna.
200W PEP supports most amateur stations.
Easy and quick to tune. 200 memory channels
Solid and robust waterproof housing.
Compact size and light weight.
It can fit long wire, mobile whip, vertical antenna, dipole antenna(without balun), etc.
An affordable and easy solution for you to construct a full band antenna.

Pi matching network
CG-3000 is designed with Pi matching network. It provides more wide tuning range and covers whole HF band. Using 9 solid inductors, the total inductance ranges from 0 to 32 uH. They can give 255 combinations with a resolution of 0.25 uH. 5 capacitors are used at the input side, the total capacitance ranges from 0 to 6300 pF with 31 combinations. Other 5 capacitors are used at the output side, the total capacitance ranges from 0 to 755 pF with 31 combinations. So totally they give 245055 tuning combinations.

  1. Hoi Nico.
    Ik heb de cg3000 sinds verleden jaar en dat ding werkt zeer goed bij mij. Ik rechtstreeks op de tuner een G5RV aangesloten. De kippenlader zit met 1 poot aan de ene kant erop, en de andere poot aan de aarde kant ervan. Tuned probleemloos alles van 80m tot 6m.
    Goede keuze van je, ga je veel plezier van hebben!
