I read the specs and several reviews. Several mention the antenna tuner, but I've not been able to find out the actual specifications. Anyone know the range that the antenna tuner can handle?
My plan was for a 66 foot OCFW and was hoping to use it on 10, 20 and 40 meters.
In normal mode (100 watt output) 3:1 SWR is all it will do. You can sort of "fake it out" by tuning at a frequency that is no more than 3:1 then you can move out of the 3:1 range with the VFO as long as you don't do a retune it will continue to work with a small SWR rise on a frequency that the tuner will not tune. Does that make sense? Kind of a hard concept to verbalize. BUT it will work.
If you go into Emergency mode (50 watt power limited) it will tune much broader loads, some of mine I believe are about 7:1 but kinda hard to prove as my meters don't go that high. But much more than 3:1 for sure.
You have to choose Emergency mode from the menu, and reboot the transceiver. Whole switch-over process takes about 10 seconds.
I hope this helped. Oh, your OCFD should work in normal mode without any problem.
