Hi Roy, Heippa Rami! Roy, you hit the nail with that, my Finland QTH has been built literally on a rock. No possibility of banging in a ground rod- and even if you do, its of no use unless it's

Rami Improving ground conditions can most definitely make it more difficult to find a match. I believe that the reason is that ground losses can attenuate the reflected signal seen by the tuner.

That would be nice, my 80m loop is now down as I will leave Finland soon, so temporary vertical is the order of the day! Cheers Clive

Hi Jurgen and Clive Only change was the rain, it was quite rainy week and ground was much more better than during earlier tests. Soil in my cottage is not good, it is on island where some soil is

Rami, did your ground conditions change? If the FC-40 does not find a match it is often due to not sufficiant ground. Increasing the number of radials helped me often. A reset clears the memories and

Yup, I did that because my 80m loop had stretched and also my landlord felled one of my "antenna supports" to put wood on his Sauna! Took a couple of mins, everything fixed! Cheers OH2FBK / G1WZM

Hi All In June I wrote here abt 23m long wire testings, I got some good results. Last weekend I did new tests and started with 24,5 m long wire, running tests all bands (160 to 10m), then shortening

Hi All ! During last month I have done many tests with FC40 / FT897 and different lengths of wires: abt 8m, 12m, 15m, 40m ... Some has been working with several bands, some not. Last weekend I tried

I am also disappointed with the fc-40. I have a random wire loop that I was using with the Icom AH-4. It would load up half of the 160m band and every HF band from 3.5 mhz to 30mhz. This setup worked

Hi Clive ! (and All) Nice photos. I was also thinking to make 80m loop, I had one there abt 20 years ago, but now there is higher trees and not yet clean space for full loop. FC40 will get loop

Hi Rami i use an 80m horiz loop in Espoo, see the 'photos' pages in the yahoo groups. There's also an excel file someone posted with already tried and tested wire lengths from the Icom tuner, which

Hi all, Finally I got my boat on the sea and I was able to start testing FC40 at my summer cottage, Cottage is in island and there I have quite good possibilities to test different wire antennas.

OK sri, sometimes it can happend, should always read before making questions.. To day is The First Touch to my new Toy... 73s de rami, oh6bi

Do a search using "extension cable".

Hi All ! Finally I bought FC40, I have used Icoms AH3 many yers and because of good results with it I decided to by FC40 for my FT897. FC40 will arrive to day and first I need to extend the control

HI Bob, Thanks for the reply. I have an FT-857D/ATAS-120 in my car, works FB! I was looking for an auto tuner that could go outside and have the same freq as the FC-40 so I could use my FT-817 from

It might be a bit of overkill seeing that the FC 40 is larger than the FT817 and probally uses more power... I use an FC40 at home with my 897 and then use the LDG Z11 QRP Auto Tuner with my FT 817.

Has anyone tried to get these two to work together or opinions? I know the FT-817 has insufficient drive (I have a 100W amp), power could be supplied by an adapter of some sort in the band data
