Yaesu ATAS-120A Active Tuning Antenna System

The ATAS-120 mobile antenna system is designed for use with Yaesu transceivers equipped with the ATAS system ( Active Tuning Antenna System). These Yaesu transceivers are the new FT-897, FT-847 and the FT-100/D. The ATAS-120 utilises a motorised tuning system which resonates the radiating element for the lowest SWR using control voltages sent to there ATAS-120 via the coaxial cable connected to your rig. The ATAS-120 is designed to mount directly onto a standard SO239 mobile antenna mount (not supplied). Magnetic mounts are not generally suitable for this antenna. For operation on 144 and 430MHz bands a diplexer for the FT-897 and the FT-100/D or triplexer for the FT-847 maybe additionally purchased. The optional ATBK-100 VHF/UHF antenna base kit is also available

Yaesu's patented ATAS^TM (Active Tuning Antenna System) makes the ATAS-120A a unique mobile antenna designed for use with Yaesu's transceivers, such as the FT-897, FT-857, FT-847, FT-100/100D and the FT-450.It provides 7/14/21/28/50 MHz bands coverage with automatic motorised tuning
