Sorry if I missed it in the video, but it should be noted that it also has a jack on the side for remote tuning trigger. Additionally, if you have a compatible device, that jack is also used for receiving band data. If you switch bands and tune, then you can just send only the band next time and it will snap back into its previous tuned state for that band, rather than having to transmit a carrier and tune all over again.
What a great little ATU. The problem is, Elecraft can't get parts needed to build them at this time. I've been waiting for almost 6 months and there's no light at the end of the tunnel. I did purchase an LDG ATU but I am not happy with it. The main issues I have with it are: 1. Size 2. They use SO 239 connectors 3. Super slow to tune. Good video, thanks for posting, Barry, KU3X
Hi Peter I think you ought to do a video on how to waterproof a Sirio 4 meter antenna, there the most un waterproof antennas there are apparently, there like an enclosed J pole, from Fred g4vvq.
Great vids. Question I do have concerning the 705. The BNC connector on the radio itself, is it male or female? Im going to order a length of coax to carry in the backpack and I need to know what bnc to have installed on the coax end, male or female? Thx in advance, and thx for the vids.
Great video. How far out will it tune. 3:1, 5:1, 10:1 etc? Only asking as I have the KX3 with the building in ATU and wondering if this would still be worthwhile to have in my kit. Tanks again for the great videos. JJK
Hi John, I would have thought that the ATU in the KX3 is very very similar to this . The one in my KX3 is superb and my pal uses one of these and they seem very familiar. 73 Mike
Using the T1 on my new IC 705 and it works brilliantly.
Great to hear. 73 Peter
I use one myself for about 2 years now and it works just great! Tnx fer the video! 73, Stephan, DF6PA
Awesome info there. Keep them coming. I am only about 6 years a ham and drink up all the elmers valuable info. Thanks and be well, KC3BXZ Joe 73
Stay safe...reminded me of Shaw Taylor, Police 5
Ah …. not sure if that is good or bad!

Excellent video very informative regarding the t1 atu ideal to use with the yaesu ft-818nd
Nice little ATU, better than lugging an MFJ up a hill!
resonant antennas are better. no tuner necessary. I use end fed half wave antennas both at home and portable.
Thank you for making the video mate, new to HAM here
Welcome! 73 Peter

Hi Ted, it’s a standard female sockei. I think I may have mentioned in the video “plug”which was a slip of the time. Sorry. Peter.
@@watersstanton Thank You
Will this work for my yeasu ft-891 in man pack set up

Around 10:1 The internal KX3 ATU has similar range. 73s Peter
I could use that for sota it looks lite and small enough. Hmmm wonder if I could sneak it past my XYL LoL
Any thought on comparing to the mAT-705 tuner?
Will try.
LDG817 works nicely as well.
Thanks Paul 73 Peter
Once tuned, can you remove the battery? Is it good for that condiguration indefinitly?
No but why would yiu want to? The drain is almost zero once tuned.
