Yaesu FC-40 - External ATU For Wire Antennas

The FC-40 is a microprocessor controlled antenna tuner unit designed for the FT-897, FT-857, FT-DX10, FT-991A, FT-981 series of transceivers.

It makes use of the control circuitry built into the transceiver and allows control and automatic operation. The FC-40 is designed to match a wide variety of antennas to within 2:1 SWR on any amateur band (160m to 6m), typically in less than 10 seconds.

Transmitting power required for matching may be as little as 4 - 60W, and matching settings are automatically stored in memory for instant recall, if the same frequency range is selected later. Mounted near to the antenna feed point, it is housed in a waterproof case capable of withstanding severe environmental conditions with high reliability
