AUTOMATIC-MATCHING 200-MEMORY ANTENNA TUNER FC-40 OPERATION
The FC-40 makes use of the control circuitry built into the transceiver, which allows the operator to control and
monitor automatic operation of the FC-40, which mounts near the antenna feedpoint. The FC-40 uses specially
selected, thermally-stable components, and is housed in a waterproof case to withstand severe environmental
conditions with high reliability.
A carefully-chosen combination of solid-state switching components and high-speed relays allows the FC-40 to
match a wide variety of antennas to within a 2:1 SWR on any amateur band frequency (160 through 6 meters),
typically in less than eight seconds. Transmitter power required for matching may be as little as 4 - 60 Watts, and
matching settings are automatically stored in memory for instant recall when the same frequency range is
selected later.
Please see the manual of FC-40 for detailed information.
Interconnections to FT-450D
After mounting the FC-40, connect the cables from the tuner to the ANT and TUNER jacks on the rear panel of
the FT-450D Transceiver.
Installation
The optional FC-40 Automatic Antenna Tuner provides automatic tuning of a coaxial line so as to present a
nominal 50-ohm impedance to the FT-450D’s, HF/50 MHz antenna port.
Before operation can begin, you must instruct the FT-450D’s microprocessor that the FC-40 is being used. This
is done using the Menu Mode:
1. Press and hold the
