Had this tuner briefly with my 100d. works quick and quite but is very limited on tuning 3-1 on hf and 2-1 on 6 meters. bought an ldg after this that does a much better job of tuning.

I've just bought another new FC-20 .One of the radios I use is a Yaesu FT897D and decided to go for this tuner again and it works great .Great that you get two years warranty on it in the UK is also a bonus and the price at some dealers are now more realistic.Beats the FC-30 any time .

Yaesu got it right with this tuner.

Bought this to use with my Yaesu FT-847. This little tuner will spoil you. It works flawlessly and is so quiet you can forget it's even there. I did the mod to expand the tuning range. It's an easy mod done through the radios' menu settings. The mod gives it the ability to tune antennas with a little higher SWR (more than 3.0:1 and up to 7.0:1). I use it on an inverted "V" for 40 meters and on a tri-band beam for fine tuning at the ends of the bands. You can attach two antennas. The small switch on the front is handy. Great addition to the shack.

OK but limited

I had one of these tuners briefly with a Yaesu FT100D. The tuner is similar to the internal tuner in many radios, meaning that it is limited in what kind of SWR it can match. If your antenna's SWR is 4:1 or better, it can probably match it. Above that, chances are iffy. It is quick, quiet, and has a switch for 2 different antennas. Plus it is powered by the rig, so no external power cable is needed. There are better external antenna tuners out there for less money, though.

Outstanding so far

Needed something for my FT-100D the LDG Z-100 does not cut it for that radio. After looking around I saw the reviews here and took the plunge. Ordered it from Gigaparts on Wed and got it on Friday, hooked it up and it kicks butt. tunes all bands on my cusscraft R-7 and the memory really remembers. Came packed up real good as the outside box looked like someone sit on it, but Gigparts has always packed things very good, one of the reasons I buy from them. anyway will keep using it and report again if needed. 73s Pat kx5f

Working silently
Tunes the FD-4 from 160 to 6 metres, though for 6 i use the 3 element beam.
On holliday mostly spend in France i throw another FD-4 in an few trees, connect the FC-20 and Ft 847, and can work from 160 to 6 metres on the wire antenna.

Excellent combination

I ran the FC20 along with a FT847 .It tuned my half sized G5RV in with no problem and was very quick and quiet ,it tunes as you move bands automatically which I never had to worry about .Bit pricey but an excellent combination
