Yaesu FC-30 Automatic Antenna Tuners respond to control commands from the FT-897 Transceiver, providing microprocessor-based impedance matching on the 160 through 6 meter Amateur bands. ( 100 watts )

Designed specifically to mount to the FT-897 HF/VHF/UHF transceiver, FC-30 antenna tuners include a cooling fan to ensure thermal stability of the critical matching elements within its compact case.

On the HF and 50 MHz bands the impedance matching range is from 16.5Ù to 150Ù (up to 3:1 SWR). Accordingly, the FC-30 should not be expected to match "long wire" type antennas unless you have taken specific design steps to ensure that the impedance presented to the FC-30 is within these specifications.

Note : Bolts directly to FT-897 transceivers. Usable with FT-857 transceivers but does not bolt on.
