This is the Clansman 250 Watt HF Antenna Tuner TURF for use with the Clansman 250 Watt RF Power Amplifier. The TURF and the 250 Watt RF Amplifiers were designed to upgrade the standard VRC-321 to a VRC-322. The TURF is used to match the antennas length to the transmitting frequency of the radio for optimum performance and achieve maximum range. It can also be used with other HF radios having an output power of up to 250 Watts.
The TURF has been designed and developed by MEL Communications Ltd in Crawley, England for mobile or static use. It is primarily designed as an High Power HF vehicle station for mobile ground-wave operation, but can also be used as a ground station or for sky-wave operation over long distances.
Frequency range 1.5 to 30 MHz. Power handling up to 300 Watt PEP (SSB) and 250 Watt CW. Beta light illumination is provided to enable the meter and Setting Switches to be read in the dark.
The controls and front-panel has been designed to permit straightforward unambiguous operation without the need for extensive operator training. Protection circuits prevent damage from various hazards including local high power transmissions.
The TURF is available in good working condition. 250 Watt RF Amplifier and other accessories such as Harness Boxes, Hand-Set, Head-Sets as well as Vehicle Mounting Trays for the radio and TURF are available separately on this website.
