The Z-817 is the ultimate autotuner for QRP radios including the Yaesu FT-817(D)& FT-818ND.
The Z-817 interfaces to the CAT port (ACC) on the back of the FT-817 & FT-818ND radios with the provided cable.
Tuning could not be simpler; one button push on the tuner is all that is needed and the Z-817 takes care of the rest.
It will switch to PKT mode, transmit a carrier, tune the tuner, then restore the radio to the previous mode!
2000 memories cover 160 through 6 meters. What LDG Tuner is right for me?
