Kanga pocket transmatch - goes up to 12

To go with my fantastic QMX portable radio (now with SSB) I wanted a compact antenna tuner and so ordered the Kanga pocket transmatch. It's actually a Z-match with a Wheatstone bridge SWR indicator.

Documentation is pretty good although deviates slightly from the supplied board which now has a place for C3. This is a very compact device and the construction has its challenges.

I misunderstood the wiring of the pins from the variable capacitors on the first go but when it didn't tune I went back and read more closely. It wasn't hard to fix. What you get is a very compact tuner that sits nicely beside a QMX.

I'd love to see a single box housing a QMX and a tuner like this. And yes, it goes up to 12!

Z-matches can tune up a wide variety of bits of wire quite nicely and this one is very capable and easy to use with the QMX's tuning setting.
