Product Description
Maximize your station’s efficiency in fixed or mobile operations with the Yaesu FC-40. This intelligent impedance matching network is the ideal solution for turning a simple random-length wire or mobile whip into a highly efficient, multi-band antenna system.
By mounting directly outdoors at the antenna’s feed point, the FC-40 eliminates the high coaxial cable feedline losses that typically occur when operating with high SWR on indoor transmission lines.
The tuner utilizes the internal microprocessor of your compatible Yaesu transceiver to achieve a precise match in record time—under 10 seconds. Thanks to its 100 tuning memory channels, it instantly recalls previous relay settings the moment you return to a previously used frequency. Built with strictly selected, thermally stable components, its waterproof chassis offers maximum reliability against the most extreme environmental conditions.
