Привет. За какую цену уступиш автотюнер из шкафа ? Всë равно он лежит у тебя без дела .

It can be used with other QRP radios but tuning up is done differently to the 817ND.

I honestly can't remember, I don't own the radio or tuner anymore. 73'

Hi there, Done a little research on the 1899t and now I’d like one for myself :) So from what I’ve learned is that it looks to be that it doesn’t need a counterpoise if you’re using it plugged directly into the radio - for example on the Yaesu FT817 has the BNC connector on the front. I have seen them mounted externally away from the radio on a mount/tripod and if you use it that way, it would need a counterpoise for sure. In short, use a counterpoise if you’re using the antenna externally, if you intend on plugging it directly into a radio (like a Yaesu ft817) then it isn’t really needed. Stay safe and 73’.

@@OnTheMicwithMike Thank you for the great information like I said I've asked many hams who have RU-vid channels and got zero response from them. You stay safe as well 73 to you also.

I've long since sold this and the radio. There are better built-in options on QRP radios nowadays.

@OnTheMicwithMike I get you but nothing to date has passed the yeasu for the durability factor
