Yaesu FC-40 AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL TUNER
Description
Yaesu FC-40 automatic external tuner 100W for Yaesu Yaesu FT-857, FT-897, FT-891, FT-991A, FTDX-101D, FTDX-10, FT-710 radios. The Yaesu FC-40 includes a cooling fan to ensure thermal stability of the critical matching elements within its compact case.
The Yaesu FC-40 is a microprocessor-controlled antenna impedance matching network designed for use with the FT-950, and all versions (original and “D”) of the Yaesu FT-450, FT-857, and FT-897 HF/VHF/UHF Transceivers.
The Yaesu FC-40 makes use of control circuitry inside the transceiver, allowing the operator to monitor and control operation of the Yaesu FC-40, which mounts near the antenna feedpoint. Fully waterproof, the FC-40 may be mounted outdoors in exposed locations, and will handle a 100 Watts of transmitter power.
The Yaesu FC-40 is designed for operation on 7 ~ 54 MHz, when using an 8’ whip like the YAESU YA-007, or on 1.8 ~ 54 MHz when used with a random-length wire longer than 66’. Matching time is typically five seconds or less, and the required drive power is 4 ~ 60 Watts.
The Yaesu FC-40 sports a whopping 200 match-setting-point memories, for instant recall of the tuning settings.
