Re: New Tuner - Recommendations?

Not a tuner, but look at the Yaesu ATAS-120A mobile antenna.? It is designed to work with the FT-857 and others and has automatic tuning features that work with the radio.? It gets rave reviews. Lee

What modes and power do you wish to operate? ?I use an LDG AT-100PROII auto tuner. It¡¯s good for 100W SSB, but only 35W digital. It¡¯s a nice small form factor and there¡¯s a Yaesu cable to connect it to the FT-857D. You can get an AT-200PROII, and it will handle higher power on digital. They actually are available all the way up to 1000W.?

?I recently became the owner of a FT-857. I've been using a vertical whip and tuning it each time to get it resonant on the respective operating band. I am looking at some other multi-band wires that would be best to use with a tuner.?
I am hoping to use this radio while portable in the future. What suggestions do folks have on current tuners that are approximately the same footprint/width of the radio for packing purposes??
