Subject: [YaesuTuner] FC-40
disappointment
i purchased a new FT-897D and FC-40 a month or so ago.
Played with
long wires, verticals etc and had no contacts on HF
while using the FC-40.
Read the manual and followed the directions.
Can't even reach a fellow ham
20 miles away on HF.
The FT-897 works great on 2M & 70
cm.
Having doubts about buying the FC-40 (and even the
FT-897).
Has anyone else had difficulties in initially setting up their
FC-40?
