Re: AH3 vs FC40
Ok Jan. Thanks for reply.
Your system in the boat sounds Good.
I have tried sometimes "resonating" counterpoises.
At the moment there is only one for 20m.
Some years ago I had wooden motorboat abt

Re: AH3 vs FC40
Rami,
yes indeed you might need a good counterpoise system. The best
starting point is at least 1 tuned (cut for 1/4 wave length) radial
per frequency you want to use, and stretch them on the

Re: AH3 vs FC40
Thanks for your reply Jan.
When I bought FC40 I believed that it is as the competitors.
After three months testing I finally found some wire lengths
which were quite good, but even founded lengths

Re: AH3 vs FC40
Well Rami, this is what I was complaining about. Apparently the
tuning range (impedance matching range) of the FC40 is quite narrow
as compared to other ATU's. I think it is only 15-600 Ohms Z.

Hi.
It was week ago I had HAM weekend with my friend at cottage.
My friend wanted to test his Icom rig in low level QRM QTH.

Re: Testing starts Again !
Hi Rami,
I am also "forced" to use the FC40 and in reality I regret not having
bought the SGC-230 instead...
The FC40 seems to have only a limited impedance and reactance tuning
range and therefore

Re: New FC-40 Owner questions
Hi Mark,
It think it's mostly to get more money out of your pocket - as if
gas prices aren't doing that already. I've never heard of any good
reason. The same goes for the Icom AH-4 and their whip.

New FC-40 Owner questions
Does anyone have a FC-40 and 102-108 inch whip mounted in a RAV4?
Anyone know if there is any reason to use the Yaesu YA-007 as opposed
to a generic 102 to 108 inch whip?

Re: fc-40 and feeder?
ratio?
Hi Colin,
Yes, you can connect the FC-40 to your OCF with twin lead. However,
I use 450 ladder line and have read that 300 sometimes is not the best
because of the spacing between the leads

Re: Control Cable revisited
Hello Jurgen,
Tnx fer taking the time to reply. I've decided to replace the CAT-5
cable I now use with 8 conductor rotor wire. I cut the cable that
Yaesu gave me and will splice the wire in between.
