Re: Coax and output wire size + 80 meters
the ground wire should be VERY short ... so put the tuner near or AT the ground will be the best try out to lenghten the antenna ..... try to put your tuner nearer to ground then the tuner has easier

Re: Coax and output wire size + 80 meters
Thanks for the replies. The antenna starts off at the corner of my fence which is about 5' up from the ground. It then runs straight to the top peak of my house which is about 30'+ high. This run is

Coax and output wire size + 80 meters
Hello, New to the group and to the FC-40. I have owned an 857D for a few years now running barefoot into a homebrew OCF. Within the last few days I purchased the FC-40 and have strung up about 90' of

Re: Coax and output wire size + 80 meters
maybe you can try another lenght and it will tune the missing bands .... have you the space for a longer wire??? do you have a good ground for your tuner??? the short run of rg58 has almost no loss

Alternatives to the FC-40
There are alternatives to the FC-40 tuner. I have a huge loop with an apex around 75 feet up in a tree. My SG-239 will tune all frequencies from 160-10 meters. It has operated flawlessly at my QTH

Re: AH3 vs FC40
Ok Jan. Thanks for reply. Your system in the boat sounds Good. I have tried sometimes "resonating" counterpoises. At the moment there is only one for 20m. Some years ago I had wooden motorboat abt 7m

Re: AH3 vs FC40
Rami, yes indeed you might need a good counterpoise system. The best starting point is at least 1 tuned (cut for 1/4 wave length) radial per frequency you want to use, and stretch them on the ground,

Re: AH3 vs FC40
Thanks for your reply Jan. When I bought FC40 I believed that it is as the competitors. After three months testing I finally found some wire lengths which were quite good, but even founded lengths

Re: AH3 vs FC40
Well Rami, this is what I was complaining about. Apparently the tuning range (impedance matching range) of the FC40 is quite narrow as compared to other ATU's. I think it is only 15-600 Ohms Z. Don't

AH3 vs FC40
Hi. It was week ago I had HAM weekend with my friend at cottage. My friend wanted to test his Icom rig in low level QRM QTH. So, I took my AH3 tuner (almost similar as FC40) to cottage for him. The 23

Re: Testing starts Again !
Hi Rami, I am also "forced" to use the FC40 and in reality I regret not having bought the SGC-230 instead... The FC40 seems to have only a limited impedance and reactance tuning range and therefore is

Re: New FC-40 Owner questions
Hi Mark, It think it's mostly to get more money out of your pocket - as if gas prices aren't doing that already. I've never heard of any good reason. The same goes for the Icom AH-4 and their whip.

New FC-40 Owner questions
Does anyone have a FC-40 and 102-108 inch whip mounted in a RAV4? Anyone know if there is any reason to use the Yaesu YA-007 as opposed to a generic 102 to 108 inch whip? -- de k4ed aka Mark Sunderlin
