Re: FT857D mobile tuner
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThe ATAS100 is a little dodgy to tune without tuned counterpoises, but my understanding is that the ATAS120 is much better at tuning with radials. Funny, I¡¯ve been beating my head against the wall trying to get the ATAS100 tune for portable hf
Encomm and cleaning out the shed to build a new hamshack I found and ATAS120 I had forgotten I had bought!
I can also recommend the Super Antenna. I have the first gen and remember working a ZL1 on 3 watts in 2000 (3 yrs away from the super peak of the solar cycle in 2003), from the patio of a Marriott Courtyard in San Francisco on 20M with it.

Thanks to all who responded; good info! The ATAS is good but limited to mobile and I use outside antennas for POTA, Field Day and 7QP, etc. I have an IC-100 tuner for an Icom 746 pro that works well so I probably will look at the Z-100plus and
the Z-11ProII at SeaPac in two weeks. Marybe I¡¯ll get lucky and find a good used one.
73 and thanks for the help, Bob - W7SCY?
