LDG AT 897 Autotuner for Yaesu FT-897 Transceiver

The AT-897 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 and will bypass the tuner if pressed momentarily. The red LED lights during while the tuner is active.

The AT-897 can be used as is or in conjunction with the W4RT One-Touch Tune interface. Without the W4RT interface, you will change your mode to one which provides a constant carrier (AM, FM, CW, or Packet), key your transmitter, press the tune button, wait for the tuner to tune, then un-key. The W4RT interface allows you to just press the tune button on the AT-897 to accomplish tuning the antenna, no matter what mode you are in. The interface takes care of it all.

The AT-897 takes power directly from the CAT port of the FT-897 and provides a second CAT port on the back of the tuner so if you are using another CAT device, hooking it up couldn't be easier.

If you are a QRP enthusiast or plan on operating via internal batteries, the AT-897 is your tuner! The AT-897 does not need a fan, let alone one that is 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 are going to operate! 1-1/2 (W) x 11-1/2 (D) x 3-1/4 (H) inches.
