LDG AT-897 Auto Tuner USED | 12 Months Warranty

LDG AT-897 Plus Antenna Tuner for FT-897, Used AT-897 Plus Autotuner. If you own a Yaesu FT897 and want a broad-range automatic antenna tuner, look no further! The AT-897Plus Autotuner mounts on the side of your FT-897, just like the original equipment. We even added the ability to mount the “feet” on the tuner’s side so that you can safely set it down and not worry about scratching the case when transporting your rig by the handle.

The AT-897Plus is microprocessor-controlled and features the tuning ability our customers have come to expect from our products. The tuner has a front panel button to initiate the tuning sequence while lowering the RF power to 25 watts. If pressed momentarily, the tuner will bypass. The red LED lights while the tuner is active.

The AT-897Plus takes power directly from the FT-897’s CAT port and provides a second CAT port on the tuner’s back, so hooking up another CAT device couldn’t be easier.

If you are a QRP enthusiast or plan on operating via internal batteries, the AT-897Plus is your tuner! It does not need a fan, let alone one constantly running. Current consumption when it is tuned is in the micro-amp range. Since we use latching relays, you can even remove power from the tuner after you have tuned on the band you will operate on!

The FT-897 is a great radio. The FT-897 / AT-897Plus combination makes a fantastic shack!
