mAT-Y200: The mAT-Y200 is specially designed for modern YAESU radios with maximum power not higher than 200W (SSB). It is suitable for FT-891, FT-991A, FT-DX10, FT-DX101D, FT-DX101MP, etc. It should be noted that radio stations without standard 8-core antenna tuning interface (for YAESU) cannot use this antenna tuner, such as FT-DX5000 and FT-2000. Not applicable to some old models, such as FT-747, FT-757, FT-80C. FT-817 / 818 for YAESU also cannot use this antenna tuner, because their software system does not support antenna tuning. If you use a FT-817 / 818 radio station, we recommend you to choose mAT-10, which can match your radio station well.
For those users who like to use 100W digital working modes including FT8, CW, RTTY, the mAT-Y200 antenna tuner is also a very suitable choice. mAT-Y200 allows longtime work in 100W digital mode, which is unbearable by ordinary 100W antenna tuners.
It can work in a wide range of 1.8-54MHz. The maximum allowable SSB RF power is 200W, and the array mode is 100W. As an external antenna tuner, a radio station controls the work of the radio station through the data line mAT-CY, and supplies power to the radio station, so the antenna tuner does not require an additional power supply. Through this data line, the antenna tuner can automatically synchronize and track the frequency with the radio. It is fully compatible with original antenna tuner for YAESU, which is very convenient to use. The antenna tuner can tune dipole antennas, monopole antennas, Yagi antennas and almost any coaxially fed antenna. It has a great impedance matching ability which is much larger than that of some other antenna tuners, especially the built-in antenna tuners of some radio stations.
Operation:
The mAT-Y200 is connected to the transceiver via its CAT/LINEAR connector. The antenna tuner is operated from the transceiver. The CAT/LINEAR connection also powers the tuner, so no external power supply is needed. Tuning occurs when the TUNE button on the transceiver is pressed and held for one second. The mAT-Y200 has 16,000 frequency memories. When you tune to or near a previously tuned frequency, the mAT-Y200 uses “Memory Tune” to recall the previous tuning parameters in a fraction of a second. If no memory is available, the tuner performs a full tuning cycle and stores the parameters for recall from memory on subsequent tuning cycles on that frequency. In this way, the mAT-Y200 “learns” as it is used and, over time, quickly adapts to previously used frequencies. The mAT-CY control cable of the mAT-Y200 provides control signals between the YAESU transceiver and the tuner. As the illustration shows, the control cable has two mini-DIN 8-pin plugs. Press and hold the [TUNER] key on the transceiver for two seconds to start tuning. Press [TUNER] quickly to bypass the tuner.
The transceiver’s included control cable is about 50 centimeters long. If it is desired to place the mAT-Y200 further from the transceiver than this cable length allows, a custom cable will need to be made or purchased. The mAT-Y200 Antenna Tuner does not support YAESU FT-817/818.
