ATU-10 by N7DDC – V1.3 by VK3PE

N7DDC designed the popular “ATU-100” 100 watt antenna tuning unit (ATU) which is freely available as a kit or even in built up form, from vendors such as eBay, Aliexpress and others. N7DDC’s QRP ATU-10 is based on his other work of the ATU-100 but uses latching relays for lower power consumption and battery use.
VK3PE done a redesign. Changed the PIC devices (PIC16F1454 and PIC16F18877) to a larger easier to solder footprint and actually still available from a number of suppliers. As well changed the footprints to solder 0805 parts in place of the 0603 size.
