## Questions & Answers

**Q: I noticed that the 5 and 2 turn toroid is reversed on the board as compared to schematic, which is correct?**
A: At least you got a schematic or manual. I never did.

**Q: What is the function of the switch and led ?**
A: It's to tune your antenna.  Move switch to the trx side, apply voice/cw, turn smaller knobs till the LED goes out, cease vouce/cw, flip switch back to ant side.  VK3YE does a great demo on YouTube

**Q: Assembly instructions for zerone 1 to 30 mhz tuner?**
A: Sorry dude, I got caught by this one too.  Mine is still in pieces.  No help in sight.  I learned a lesson about some of the sellers on Amazon.

**Q: What is meant by a Q9 Type Interface?**
A: The "Zerone" antenna tuner, when connected between a wire antenna and a radio, can help match the two over a range of about 9 to 1 (30 to 300 ohms).  Search "Antenna Q" for more technical info on antenna circuit quality or Q Factor.  The translator probably chose "interface" because the tuner acts as an interface between the radio and antenna.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good swr tuner
*by J***O on February 19, 2023*

Great little SWR and tuner combo. Instructions of the windings are backwards ,but still build it correctly without the problem after a recent search on YouTube.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not for the inexperienced builder, but a bargain if you have some experience. No instructions.
*by J***S on May 16, 2023*

Do not buy this if you don't have a bit of experience with electronics. This is not like the Heathkits of years ago. Mine literally had zero instructions. There is a place on the circuit board that a coil is installed on that has the coil being mounted backwards. The knobs won't work as received in the kit, without some slight modifications. The wire for winding the coils is larger than their own instructions call for, if you can find them on the internet, replacing it with a smaller gauge, more easily strippable wire will make things much easier, and make you much less likely to destroy the plastic switch, as well as reducing the likely-hood of you slamming your fist through a wall in frustration. All that being said there are now some very good instructions on the internet and Youtube that describe all the issues and how to correct them. As to the value of the kit, there is no way you could individually purchase the components and a case to put them in for twice the price. If you buy the kit, find the corrected instructions to build it, it's a pretty decent tuner at an incredible price.

### ⭐⭐ Barely worth the price of parts.
*by D***U on December 7, 2024*

This kit is barely worth the price of very cheap parts. The caps are stiff and the knobs for the caps are rigged to go on and spin freely without super glue. After assembling them the ends of the knobs dont fit on. No instructions or schematic so need to find online. It has bnc connectors which few radios use so you have to buy UHF sockets or buy adapters for more than the price of the kit. Other builders found the switch was bad. Mine had two lugs shorted together inside and soldering melted the plastic body enough for the lugs to move around freely . By heating the pin and wiggling I was able to kind of get the short to stop. Junk switch. All in all a very poor kit.
