Vertex FC-30 Antenna Tuner (Coaxial Lines) (discontinued)

Further details of Vertex FC-30 Antenna Tuner (Coaxial Lines)

The FC-30 Automatic Antenna Tuner responds to control commands from the FT-897 Transceiver, providing microprocessor-based impedance matching on the 160 through 6 meter Amateur bands. On the HF and 50 MHz bands the impedance matching range is from 16.5Ω to 150Ω (up to 3:1 SWR). Accordingly, the FC-30 should not be expected to match “long wire” type antennas unless you have taken specific design steps to ensure that the impedance presented to the FC-30 is within these specifications.
