Z-match
In the time I've been on the forum I've seen that there are quite a few Hams around
I'm currently on the hunt for a Z-match antenna matching unit ... Any steers on this would be much appreciated ! |

Re: Z-match
I use one, but I can offer a steer:
Most people built their own, but KW made some very nice units. The basic one was the Eezee Match, the posh one was the KW109 'supermatch' which had a higher power rating and metering. KW107 was a lower power version. KW was also rebranded as Decca in its last years. Mine says Decca on it and gives the model as KW109 Supermatch. If you expand your search terms to include these, you may get more hits. David

Re: Z-match
thank you David !
I may have located one , but thanks for the tips / steer they seem so much more elegant a solution than the radio fooling units sold now as ATUs |

Re: Z-match
There were also some commercially made Z-matches from S.E.M. I have one but unfortunately I don't wish to sell it: But that's another brand to look out for.

Re: Z-match
I think I have a spare KW107. I’ll have a look for it but in the meantime drop me a PM if you’re interested.

Re: Z-match
Hi all,
Don't wish to subvert Nicola's request and post but I would also be interested in a Z match. Clearly Nicola should get first refusal on anything offered but do let me know if either of you have something you would be willing to part with. Thanks Jon |

Re: Z-match
With the KW tuner, you may want to open it up and clean the contacts to the capacitor rotors... mine needs redoing at the moment.
