Re: Question re: FC-40 and portable antenna
Are you planning on using it as a loop? I made a loop for field day back in June with the FC-40 and it was 540 foot long. I had a blast with it, I "snuck" off the band I was working, 160 meter, and

Okay, I have followed the postings so far and have the radio and antenna and tuner installed in the TJ. I have grounded the exhaust system as advised. I placed two large ferrites on the fuel pump

I tried the link, but failed to see where it answered my questions... maybe I missed something. Basically I want to know if the CT-62 cable and the cable to the FC-40 can work at the same time (as

Re: Jeep Wrangler TJ - FT-857D & FC-40
Jeff: My setup won't tune below 5 MHz, even with a stepdown toroidal transformer with the 102" whip. Not surprising as the FC-40 is only advertised to go down to 40M with a 102" whip. If I want to use

Re: Alternate antenna with FC-40
That's really interesting. I'm running a 102" stainless whip and haven't had much luck on 20 and 40. 20 tunes up great, but 40 tends to spike high when I'm transmitting. I've only been playing with

Re: Alternate antenna with FC-40
I use a 102 inch whip and the FC-40 on a Jeep Wrangler. I get good reports down to the three top channels of 60 meters. 40M is okay as well. 80M is out of the question with the 102 inch whip. I have

Alternate antenna with FC-40
It's been suggested to me that I replace my 102" whip with an 80-meter HamStick. Has anyone tried this. My whip performs great down to 17-meters, but I've had trouble being heard on 20 and 40. Any

FC-40 & ATAS 120 questions
I am going to be purchasing an FT-857d on a special very shortly. The special has discounted prices on both the FC-40 and the ATAS-120. Yaesu advertizes the FC-40 being used with a 102" to 108" whip.

Re: Wire Lenght
HI ! Wire length should be something else than half wave to avoid high voltage feed point and arcing inside the tuner. Sometimes I had very nice blue shining light inside my old manual tuner when
