10 Metre Amateur Band Coverage
Frequency Range: 28.000–29.700MHz
The Atlas covers the internationally allocated 10 metre amateur radio band, giving licensed operators access to one of the most interesting HF bands.

10m can provide:

✔ Local Communications
✔ Mobile Operation
✔ Base Station Operation
✔ SSB Contacts
✔ DX / Long-Distance Contacts
✔ Excellent Propagation When Conditions Open

When 10 metres comes alive, contacts over very considerable distances can be possible.

Advanced AI Noise Reduction
One of the standout features of the Moonraker Atlas is its built-in:

AI Noise Reduction – Adjustable Levels 1–15
The noise reduction system is designed to help reduce unwanted background noise and make received speech easier to understand in difficult operating environments.

Particularly useful for:

✔ Mobile Operation
✔ Electrically Noisy Vehicles
✔ Weak Signal Reception
✔ Busy Radio Environments
✔ Base Station Operation

With 15 adjustable levels, you can tailor the amount of processing to suit the conditions.

Cleaner reception can make all the difference when working weaker stations.

Built-In Clarifier
SSB signals sometimes require slight fine-tuning for the most natural and intelligible received audio.

The built-in Clarifier allows precise adjustment when receiving SSB signals.

✔ Fine-Tune SSB Reception
✔ Improve Voice Clarity
✔ Useful for Weak/Distant Signals
✔ Particularly Valuable for USB/LSB Operation

Dual Watch
The Dual Watch function allows you to monitor two selected frequencies, making it easier to keep an ear on another part of the band without constantly changing frequencies manually.

Ideal for operators who want to monitor an active frequency while keeping watch on another.

🌈 Adjustable Colour Backlight
The Atlas features an adjustable colour backlight, allowing you to tailor the display to your preference and operating environment.

✔ Excellent Daytime Visibility
✔ Comfortable Night-Time Operation
✔ Customisable Appearance
✔ Ideal for Vehicle Dash Installations

🔒 Full Button Lock
The built-in button lock helps prevent accidental changes to radio settings.

Particularly useful during mobile operation where controls can easily be knocked or pressed unintentionally.

⚡ RF Output Power
The Atlas provides plenty of power for 10m mobile and base operation.

SSB: 15 Watts
FM: 7 Watts
AM: 7 Watts Average
PEP: Up to 16 Watts
👉 A capable compact transceiver for both local and longer-distance amateur radio operation.

🔋 12–13.8V DC Operation
The radio operates from:

12–13.8V DC – Negative Ground
This makes it suitable for conventional mobile installations as well as home-base use with a suitable regulated DC power supply.

For mobile installations, a properly fused direct battery connection can help provide a stable supply and may reduce problems caused by voltage drop or electrical noise from unsuitable accessory wiring.

📡 Standard SO239 Antenna Connection
The Atlas uses the familiar:

SO239 Antenna Socket
allowing connection to compatible 50 Ohm antenna systems using a PL259 plug.

For 10m operation, always use an antenna designed or correctly adjusted for the frequencies being used.

🚗 Compact Mobile Installation
Despite its comprehensive feature set, the Atlas remains compact enough for vehicle installation.

Dimensions:
21 × 19 × 5cm

Weight:
Approx. 0.7kg

The supplied mounting bracket allows the radio to be installed in a suitable position within the vehicle.

🏠 Excellent as a Home Base Radio
The Atlas isn't restricted to mobile operation.

Connect it to:

✔ A Suitable Regulated 13.8V Power Supply
✔ A Properly Installed 10m Antenna
✔ Quality 50 Ohm Coax Cable

and it makes an excellent compact 10 metre home-base transceiver.

When conditions are favourable, a relatively modest station can communicate over very long distances.

Combined with:

✔ USB / LSB SSB
✔ 15W SSB Output
✔ AI Noise Reduction
✔ Clarifier
✔ Quality 10m Antenna

the Atlas makes an excellent compact radio for operators interested in 10m DX and mobile amateur radio.

Installation
For best performance:

✔ Install the radio securely using the supplied bracket
✔ Use a suitable fused DC power connection
✔ Observe correct polarity
✔ Use quality 50 Ohm coax cable
✔ Connect a suitable 10m amateur antenna
✔ Check antenna SWR before transmitting
✔ Keep power and antenna wiring away from potential interference sources where practical

A quality antenna installation is just as important as the radio itself.
