Re: RF leak on 40 mts
You have an RF "leak" INTO the inverter, NOT out of the radio.? Wind cords into/out of the inverter through toroids to try to keep the RF out of the inverter.? Also make sure your feed line is kept

Re: New Tuner - Recommendations?
I have the LDG AT-100 Pro. May not be available new these days. Form factor is great with the 857. Connections are easy. You'll need one patch cord to make it work. I use the TUNE button on the tuner.

Re: New Tuner - Recommendations?
I have had good luck with the MFJ 939 series of tuners, rated for 200 watts so FT-8 and other digital modes should not bother it too much with higher power percentages. I know that it is not a "cool"

Re: New Tuner - Recommendations?
I will have to look into the coupler option. Especially where I've been doing mostly digital versus voice so I appreciate your suggestion as I hadn't even considered it. Even if I'm in a vehicle, it

Re: New Tuner - Recommendations?
I realize that you asked about an antenna tuner but you may want to consider using an antenna coupler. The difference between a Tuner and a Coupler is that Tuners are colocated with the transmitter or

Re: New Tuner - Recommendations?
I like the LDG Z11ProII for a portable setup. It is about the same width as the body of the FT-857 so it stacks nicely. The advantages it has for a backpack setup is it can be powered by 6 to 16 volts

Re: New Tuner - Recommendations?
An EFHW does not need a tuner if operated on the multiples of the lowest band. For example, when operating portable I use a 63ft 40m EFHW which includes the 49:1 transformer and it is resonant on 40,

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
