I just got mine yesterday. The pins in the data cable is scary small. Once everything was hooked up it was incredibly easy to use. Quite a step up from my MFJ Manual tuner and, this does not require any external power whic is a huge plus for portable use.
Hi, thanks for this. I was struggling to get mine to work, I got it months ago and basically gave up with it and put it back in the box. I saw your tip about entering the menu and setting it to ext atu, my FT450D was set to int atu, doh! I'm new to this so it was a great help, I'm on 80mtrs now! 73 M7HUX
Great video... Thanks! Looking to use this with a 857 I just picked up. I know the FC-30 does 3:1 match, do you know what the matching is for this? I know a bunch of the LDG's are 10:1 but they don't use the Yaesu button to tune which is key to me as I am going to build it into a pack. Thanks for any thoughts.
Great video but I still could not get my tuner to respond in the "F" 1 menu and I had set 16-15 menu to external , but when I would push and hold the button it would only beep. So I did the factory reset and chose the 2nd option, the screen went blank then came back on and now it functions just like the video! I tried it out and worked 3 POTA stations with my Chameleon Delta loop on 20m!!
I have a question about using the mAT-30 automatic tuner with this radio. I went into the menu system, item 16-15 has to be set to external, which I just did. Now I don't have the tuner yet, it's arriving on Monday, however I went into the menu system to The Function 1 screen, scrolled to the TNR icon, pressed the multifunction knob, and the TNR did not highlight. Is this because I have to have the tuner hooked up to the radio first, in order to enable me to use the TNR function?
Dear colleague, could you tell me if this tuner works for the Vertex Standard vx-1700? The output connector of the equipment is the same as the Yaesu ones mentioned in the mAT-30 manual. Thank you so much. 73 from Argentina. Estimado colega, usted me podria decir si este sintonizador me sirve para el Vertex Standard vx-1700? el conector de salida del equipo es el mismo los Yaesu mencionados en el manual del mAT-30. Muchas Gracias. 73 desde Argentina.
Ma se un un secondo momento vilessi aggiungere l'unità SCU-17 è possibile collegare tutto insieme sul retro della radio? Io credo di si... 73 de DL1YKQ
question ....if you have a 100 watts radio and a magnetic loop antena 45 wat max input (TUNING CAPACITOR Air variable dual MAX POWER 45W PEP (SSB)... if you reduce the output power of the ratio to 40 watts .... do you need a tunner other than the antena capacitor???? I am new on thi ...studding to get my lic
@MAT-TUNER TUNER If I take the MAT 30 offline but leave connected (because antenna is resonant on 1 band and I don't need the tuner) no RF passed when mic is keyed. Is this a fault or I am missing something in the menus?
QUESTION -- does the "online" light remain "on" while you are transmitting on SSB? Also, when the "online" light is "off" that means the tuner is bypassed? My mAT-30 instructions aren't very clear on that. Please advise. Thank you.
I dont have this setup anymore. But yes the online light I believe means tuner is on with the radio and when off it is in bypass mode. Hope this helps.
@@59radio22 -- One more question. Did you leave the tuner "online" while you dialed (surfed) the frequencies? I hear the relays clicking as I surf the frequencies when tuner is "online". Thank you.

Exactly my problem until I saw this.

Believe it has to be connected. Sorry for late reply

I'm not sure. It might possibly. But have never used that radio

Are you still using the mat-30 4 years on? Is it built to last or has it died.. Eham reviews are very mixed. Thanks for the video, very informative 👍
I don't have it anymore. Sold it with my 891 few years ago. But recently got another, and will be getting another
HOw is it working for you after a year ? Still happy with it ?
Thank you friends for paying attention to the mAT tuner. Check out my video for more information.
great product sir

@@Klaatu-ij9uz sorry for late reply. Yes I would leave it on
@@59radio22 Why did you changed the setup if we may ask? Was it something you don't like after using it for a while?
@@tomasz5274 had some extra bills come up, so had to sell to pay them, otherwise id kept the setup as it worked great
hi do you know how to do a factory reset to the tuner?
is it cheaper than the LDG one ? VA2SOB - 73 Claude
I purchased this for around $150 USD at the time of the video. So would depend on which ldg tuner was looking at getting
Why unboxing videos? We are interested in seeing it work, not a stupid cardboard box. Just like an LDG, 10:1 SWR, Appriximate.
I had received a question on Facebook asking what all came with it, so this is why did unboxing video.
