Hello everyone,
i am looking for an LDG YT100 for my Yeasu FT100D.
i heard good words about them and i have no experiences with automatic antenna tuners.
Anyone know a dealer in Canada ?
thanks for the help,

I bought one of the first models in kit form.? Very versatile.? The 100 models are fairly lightweight and easily shipping.?
Very low current drain, and has a sleep mode with the relays latched for the last tune.? The only thing I would suggest is maybe the cable allows you to push the tune button on the radio and drops the power when tuning.? Typically, only a few watts are needed to go through the tuneup and it saves wear and tear on the relays in the tuner and the radio.? I use mine as a remote tuner with a TS2000 mobile and just set the radio to AM with the power set to 5W in AM mode, so tune up is easy.? If the SWR changes when you go to full power, It means something is heating in your tuner or antenna or there is high RF somewhere.? If you can't find a good match in 10 seconds, you need to work on your antenna. During tuneup, it will be tuning a sequence to arrive at a proper match and will sound like an old engine with loose tappets.? Until the match is found, there may be very high voltages or currents at certain combinations of L and C.? These high voltages and currents may cause weird things to happen to the radio or the tuner circuits and is common with all tuners.? Doing the actual tuning at low power is a good idea for any tuner. |
Hi Gervais, I won't?be very friendly with what Hugo just told you, Yes RW do sell them but they charge so high for both the radio and delivery that I prefer to order my stuff from DX engineering in the US, it cost me less AND they have it in stock most of the time.? I have both LDG-200ProII and LDG-1000ProII? I use them with my IC-7600 and my IC-7300 with my lamp amplifier.? My antenna can be a DX-LB+ 160-10 meter dipole, my Zero-Five 43 foot vertical or my 160-10 Butternut vertical all of those antenna have spots where?a simple internal tuner won't?tune, I have only once found a spot where the tuner did not work and it was when my dipole broke at the coax connector.? Hope this will help you with your purchase? Pierre VE2PF Le?dim. 6 nov. 2022 à?18:52, Gervais Fillion <ve2ckn2@...> a écrit?:

Bonjour Pierre et Gervais,
Gervais' question was that he was looking for an LDG seller in Canada so I answered as per his request. I only answered based on the original question. ? Indeed, before buying, when the place of purchase is not important, is to check above all the final cost with the rate exchange and shipping cost. I checked recently between DXEngineering and Radioword and in some cases RW are cheaper and in others it is DX. But it is true that if we only take the average of the last few years, with free shipping with any purchase over $300, DX is often better... Indeed, the YT is discontinued but they have other interesting LDG tuner.? A subject quite different from the components present in a repeater ? 73! |
