I made several control cables for me and my friends using CAT-5 cable, 20m long, all work fine. The shields were connected to the metal parts of the mini-DIN connectors. 73, Jurgen, DJ5HD

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this group, but not with couplers like the AH-4. I'm replacing my Icom AH-4 with the FC-40 since I've upgraded to the Yaesu FT-950. I've looked through the previous posts, but

Hi all, my 8pin din pigtail on my FC-40 has become corroded, and I am dithering between trying to replace it with a homebrew pigtail; running the control cable from the radio straight to the connector

Hi Folks... I have an FT-857 with a FT-40 antenna tuner... My home is located below the surrounding area and my property is heavily wooded... I installed a random wire antenna about 375 feet long

Hi All ! Last weekend I tried again OFC dipole. It didnt work as well as I was thinking, Maybe I have to change position of the antenna itself but here in Finland cold season is starting (on Sat

Hi Sami, yes the mic works still in CAT mode, you just lose FST and UP / DOWN controls, but PTT is still good! cheers Clive - original message - Subject: [YaesuTuner] OFC Dipole and FC40 +

Hi All ! In my last message I told to start new tests with OFC Dipole and FC40. Last weeks not enough time to testing but yesterday I made first test. Antenna was same as in VK2DQ writings, longer

Had custom cable made to 125ft lenth and it works fine! of cable. can With ground vertical Gnd.

Good information-- Thanks Rami! jp, w1jp <snip/>

My 23m wire test is done, it took 6 weekends at cottage. ( HI, I didnt do that all the time..) I started with abt 40m length wire then abt 20m then abt 11m and 15m. Finally 23m which I found best for

Hi all, I added photos of my setup in Mauritius, 3B8 from February 2006. The antenna was a "Spiderbeam"-fiberglass pole, 12m tall, fixed at an old construction. The radial system consisted of about 8

Hi All ! It was my fault, there was one bad connection. I did new tests to day, here are the results: 1842 kHz OK 1873 kHZ OK 3520 kHZ +++++ 3785 kHz +++++ 7003 kHz OK 7098 kHz ++ 10116 kHz

Hi Roy, Heippa Rami! Roy, you hit the nail with that, my Finland QTH has been built literally on a rock. No possibility of banging in a ground rod- and even if you do, its of no use unless it's

Rami Improving ground conditions can most definitely make it more difficult to find a match. I believe that the reason is that ground losses can attenuate the reflected signal seen by the

That would be nice, my 80m loop is now down as I will leave Finland soon, so temporary vertical is the order of the day! Cheers Clive

Hi Jurgen and Clive Only change was the rain, it was quite rainy week and ground was much more better than during earlier tests. Soil in my cottage is not good, it is on island where some soil is

Rami, did your ground conditions change? If the FC-40 does not find a match it is often due to not sufficiant ground. Increasing the number of radials helped me often. A reset clears the memories

Yup, I did that because my 80m loop had stretched and also my landlord felled one of my "antenna supports" to put wood on his Sauna! Took a couple of mins, everything fixed! Cheers OH2FBK /

Hi All In June I wrote here abt 23m long wire testings, I got some good results. Last weekend I did new tests and started with 24,5 m long wire, running tests all bands (160 to 10m), then shortening

Hi All ! During last month I have done many tests with FC40 / FT897 and different lengths of wires: abt 8m, 12m, 15m, 40m ... Some has been working with several bands, some not. Last weekend I tried
