LDG AT-897 | 90 Days Warranty

LDG AT-897 Plus Antenna Tuner is an excellent addition for owners of the Yaesu FT-897 looking for a reliable autotuner. Designed to mount seamlessly on the side of the FT-897, this tuner not only preserves the aesthetics of your rig but also enhances its functionality. The innovative design includes the option to attach “feet” to the tuner, ensuring it can be safely placed down without risking scratches during transport.

Equipped with microprocessor control, the AT-897Plus boasts a range of features that streamline the tuning process. The front panel button initiates the tuning sequence while automatically reducing RF power to 25 watts. For those moments when tuning is not required, a momentary press allows the tuner to bypass. The active status is indicated by a red LED, providing clear feedback during operation. Additionally, the tuner draws power directly from the FT-897’s CAT port, with a secondary CAT port available for connecting other devices.

For QRP enthusiasts or users relying on internal batteries, the AT-897Plus is particularly advantageous due to its low power consumption. When tuned, it operates in the micro-amp range, eliminating the need for a constantly running fan. With latching relays, users can disconnect power once tuned, increasing efficiency. Covering a frequency range from 1.8 to 54 MHz and supporting an antenna impedance of 6 to 800 Ohms, the AT-897Plus is versatile enough to accommodate various coax-fed antennas, making it a valuable asset for any amateur radio setup.
