Re: 857D Antenna Tuner
I started with an MFJ-904H. It did the job and worked well portable as it was quite light. I found having a decent meter for swr and power to be very helpful.
However I recently scooped an LDG

Re: 857D Antenna Tuner
I pondered that issue as well. However, my chronic hand shaking makes all these projects so much harder. The LDG YT-100 was a much simpler solution.

Re: 857D Antenna Tuner
I second Scott's suggestion. When I first got my 857, I also bought the LDG Z-100. This set-up was for my vehicle with the 857 body & Z-100 back near the battery. The 857 front panel controller is

Re: 857D Antenna Tuner
Kenny,
The Yaesu FC-40 is the best thing since bottled anything as a FT-857D or other Yaesu rig companion.? Simply works like a charm when placed very near the antenna proper.? These are really more

Re: 857D Antenna Tuner
I used LDG Z11Pro and AT100 with my 857s. Both have worked well. Z11pro uses less power but doesn't have the nice bar graphs for Power and SWR. Other than that, not enough difference to be concerned

Re: 857D Antenna Tuner
My 857¡¯s auto tuner is the excellent LDG YT-100 with LDG cable. It¡¯s designed for your rig and has same footprint. The tuner and the rig (for safe storage) both fit into one SAW metal ammo

Re: 857D Antenna Tuner
I'm using LDG Z 100 Plus with my 857D. Portable, smaller than 857D and
battery pack can also be included inside the unit for maximum portability.

I use as an ATU, the LDG YT100. The aerials and antennas are varied. It works for me. I just bought a Buddy Pole so will see if that is OK too.
