What is an FC-40?

Thanks Mike

I don't need to use sound card, because CW and SSB will

be the only modes in use.

Will check your sugestion. If not works, let's use 857 and

FC-40, with notebook in manual operation, regular keyer

and microphone hi hi

Check out DigiRig.net-it works great with my FT857-D. Not sure if N1MM will drive a soundcard modem, but there are virtual TNC programs that it should work with. I use a paid version of VARA HF (again don’t know if it will work with N1MM). Check for some other links or N1MM webpage.

Subject: [FT-857] FT857 + FC-40 + CAT

Good Morning

?

I will try to use FT857 next trip to Italy, in April.

Trying to buy a FC-40 to make it with a LongWire.

Notebook with an USB cable will control radio.

And this is my doubt now...

?

How can I connect FT-857 with FC-40 and keep it together CAT control from a notebook?

?

Usually working with N1MM+.

?

Thanks a lot... 73 DX from PY2NY

(but I/SP9NY in April)

Vitor,
why don't you consider a AT-200 Pro from LDG? not weatherproof but way capable of tuning almost everything(I guess better than FC-40) and CAT is completely independent.

Only drawback is that it will recognize band change only if you tx, switching bands after tuning them will require a brief press of ptt to recall last tuning for that band frequency(very quick, like a fraction of a sec).

It could be even remoted, no connection beside the coax and some sort of power supply.
Once tuned, you could even shut down the power and save battery.

I have a AT-100 Pro, it will tune 1.5W and it could be a good choice for QRP(though form factor could be smaller).

For a travel/portable tuner I prefer the Z11ProII over the AT-100 or

AT-200.? Smaller footprint, lower current draw and accepts internal

batteries so no additional power source is needed. Tuning range and

power handling is the same as the AT-100.? All of them are wider range

than a FC40 but probably need a Balun or UNUN to work with long wire

type antennas.
