Not what the doctor ordered			Time owned: more than 12 months
When I bought my FT-897D I purchased the FC-40 as well since it was offered at half price. I am certainly glad I did not pay full price! My first experience with it was on Field Day 2008. I set up to operate my FT-897D with the FC-40 using about 100 feet of wire tuned against 100 feet of chain link fence as a counterpoise. To make a long story short I spent most of the day trying to find a length of wire that would at least tune 80, 40, and 20 meters but was not successful. At best maybe two of the three. When the tuner was happy with a given length it worked well, just not multiband as advertised. I finally gave up when darkness set in and I could no longer see where I was tossing the loose end of the wire.
Product is in production.
