Jeff: My setup won't tune below 5 MHz, even with a stepdown toroidal transformer with the 102" whip. Not surprising as the FC-40 is only advertised to go down to 40M with a 102" whip. If I want to

Jay, Out of curiosity - have you had any success with the Wrangler setup on 6M? Jeff KG6TY 94 YJ

That's really interesting. I'm running a 102" stainless whip and haven't had much luck on 20 and 40. 20 tunes up great, but 40 tends to spike high when I'm transmitting. I've only been playing with

I just came back from a round trip from Florida to Wisconesin. On the way up I was ab le to get into nets on 75, 40, 20 meters. On the way back I had a QSO with a ham in Boston and at the same time

I use a 102 inch whip and the FC-40 on a Jeep Wrangler. I get good reports down to the three top channels of 60 meters. 40M is okay as well. 80M is out of the question with the 102 inch whip. I have

It's been suggested to me that I replace my 102" whip with an 80-meter HamStick. Has anyone tried this. My whip performs great down to 17-meters, but I've had trouble being heard on 20 and 40. Any

I have a 6 foot wood fence that protects my back yard. It must be around + /- 200 feet in roughly a square configuration. I used 4 foot fiberglass fence sticks and nailed them to the posts around

I got from a local fishing tackle manufacturer (Brisbane, Qld, Australia) who in the past also made quite a few tapped whips for RFDS applications. They are not doing the work any more now

Peter, Where did you get that whip at? Is it available in the states? How much do they cost? Thanks, Mike, KB5OZE wrote: go group. <wclarkson@c...> shortly. 120. My 50"

My helically wound whip is about 2.5 metres long. The tuner will go down to 1.9 MHz. Natural lowest resonant frequency of the whip is 2.02 MHz. Check out the pictures in the photos section of

I am going to be purchasing an FT-857d on a special very shortly. The special has discounted prices on both the FC-40 and the ATAS-120. Yaesu advertizes the FC-40 being used with a 102" to 108"

HI ! Wire length should be something else than half wave to avoid high voltage feed point and arcing inside the tuner. Sometimes I had very nice blue shining light inside my old manual tuner when

So what is a good wire lenght that will cover all bands? I have up to 100 feet of wire to work with. looking for 160 to 6 meters but 80 to 160 would be fine.

Gidday all, I have uploaded some photos of my mobile setup. It may not be 100% conforming with pure antenna theory, but it works! Regards, Peter, VK4TGV.

Sure can, I use a 1:1 balun with about 100mm of wire connecting the ground and antenna terminals to the balun, then run about 2 metres of co-ax to a spring base with a helically wound HF whip

yes, I just conected the loop to the two connectors. I asked Yaesu about using the tuner on balanced and unbalanced lines and they said it should be fine. It worked well except for the QSB which I

As with any antenna, Just try it. Let us know what happens. Oh, use low power to start. from
