Z100PLUS
Automatic antenna tuner

$239.00 AUD

LDG's popular Z-100 economy tuner has now metamorphesised into the Z-100Plus. Very small and simple to use, the Z-100Plus retains 2000 frequency and tuning parameters. It will operate from any external 7 to 18 VDC voltage source, although there is no internally fitted battery tray or DC leads for mounting/using internal batteries. Six AA batteries will run it for a year of normal use! Current draw whilst tuning is less than 100mA.

The Z-100Plus now includes an internal frequency counter. The operating frequency is stored, along with tuning parameters, in order to make memory tunes a blazingly fast 0.1 seconds! Full tunes take an average of only 6 seconds.

  • 1.8 to 54 MHz coverage continuous coverage.
  • RF Power; 0.1 to 125 watts in SSB, CW and digital modes.
  • Tunes 6 to 800 ohms on HF (16 to 150 on 6m)
  • 2000 memories sorted by frequency.
  • Latching relays for ultra low power consumption.
  • Interface cables for late model Icom and Yaesu radios and a coax patch lead are included

YT-100
Auto tuner for Yaesu radios

$289.00 AUD

Yaesu radios are amongst the best and LDG makes a dedicated bolt-on tuner for the FT-897. However, that leaves many Yaesu transceivers without a dedicated LDG tuner.
Of course, most LDG tuners will work just fine with Yaesu radios, but it would be nice to have it integrated with the radio.
LDG's new YT-100 does just that! An included CAT cable interfaces with your FT857, FT897 and FT-100 (including all D versions), making it an integrated tuner powered via the interface cable. No extra power cables are needed.
Just press the tune button on the tuner and everything happens automatically, as follows...
The mode is automatically set to carrier mode, the RF output power is reduced and a tuning cycle then commences.
Once tuning is completed the radio is automatically returned to its original settings.

  • RF Power: 1 to 100 watts SSB, CW and digital modes.
  • Latching relays for ultra low power consumption.
  • Built-in CAT interface for FT-100(D), 857(D) and 897(D) radios. Powered from Yaesu radio over CAT port.
  • CAT thru-port for computer control of radio @ 4800 baud
  • 2000 memories - sorted by frequency
  • 1.8 to 54 MHz continuous frequency coverage.
  • Tunes 4 to 800 ohms across HF and 16 to 150 ohm across 6m
  • Interface cable and a coax patch lead are included

Z-11PROII

  • Not for use with FT-857/897 radios if you plan to use V/U because these radios transmit a small amount of V/U RF energy from their HF port and will fool the tuner into tuning. Use the AT-100 in this case.
  • Interface cables for late model Icom and Yaesu radios and a coax patch lead are included
