* TWINBAND TRANSCEIVERS *

"Twinband" transceivers allow simultaneous and independent operation on two bands at the same time, e.g. receiving on one band whilst transmitting on another band. "Dualband" transceivers allow
transmit or receive operation on
only one band at any one time.
"Twinbanders" were promoted by Yaesu from the early '80s...

FREIGHT & INSURANCE NOTES

Insurance cover for goods in transit is available from us for only $2 per $100 value of goods. Please advise us if you require this option when ordering.

Please consider insurance because we are not responsible for loss of parcels or damage sustained by parcels - the carrier is responsible! We do pack well!

If your order is damaged in-transit by the freight company then you must claim on the freight company, not ourselves!!

Of course, if you have paid us for insurance then you simply claim on us. We are quick at resolving damage claims, compared to
many freight companies.

Insurance is NOT available for items sent via express mail BAG.

Please do NOT write <fragile> on anything you send to us as doing so greatly increases the risk of damage. Please try to "double-box" all products sent to us.

Warranties are not transferable, except for the Yaesu factory supported 3-year warranty.
Any other warranties are not transferable and are only for the benefit of the original purchaser. 

We don't offer replacement warranties. One year warranty applies to all new accessories.

Warranty covers only faults in parts or workmanship.

Warranty cover is not insurance cover, of course!

Customer caused or environment caused damage is not covered by any warranty, of course!

All prices are subject to change without notice or obligation and are based on importing  products via seafreight.

Importing of products via airmail, airfreight or aircourier, compared to our regular seafreighting, will incur additional freight costs.

All prices subject to confirmation. Prices are subject to change without notice or obligation due to exchange rate variations, etc.

"Twinband" transceivers allow simultaneous and independent operation on two bands at any time, e.g. receiving on one band whilst transmitting on the other band. "Dualband" transceivers allow transmit or receive operation only
on one band at any time.

All firmware upgrading is chargeable. Firmware upgrading is not free within the radio's warranty period. All firmware is covered by warranty.

We have provided free radio "health checks" daily since 1976.
This service applies to all amateur radios, whether they were sold by us, or not.
Some conditions apply.

YAESU ATAS-120A

Now...$499 AUD

AUTOMATIC
Antenna Tuning System

Plenty in stock!

The ATAS-120A is a motor-driven mobile type vertical antenna. It has a continuously tunable frequency range of 7MHz~450Mz (40m to 70cm) and is fully remote controllable by FT-897/D, FT-857/D, FT-100/D and FT-847  transceivers. These transceivers will automatically tune an ATAS-120A to the point of lowest detected swr by driving its internal motor, which adjusts the antenna's length, thereby  changing its resonant frequency. Maximum antenna length is 1.6m. Spare/replacement stainless steel whips are subject to availability.

Please note that this antenna has an integrated PL-259 plug. This plug is also very well known as a UHF plug
(in commercial radio) and as M-P,
i.e. M-type plug (in Asian countries).
It will screw into an SO-239 socket.
Many amateurs buy an SO-239 side-entry socket, RG-58 coax & PL-259 plug assembly - or just a side-entry SO-239 socket - from us as the first step in installing an ATAS-120A.

Almost ALL mobile VHF/UHF amateur radio antennas have a PL-259 integrated into their base section! These antennas require an SO-239 socket to plug into for operation!
Recently, we found some new and long-standing amateurs were not aware of this requirement.
Btw, freighting or mailing of
antennas is at extra cost.

We very rarely recommend mobile antennas be installed in any base
station situation, due to mobile antennas typically having a higher angle of radiation and lower gain
than most base station antennas.

We have NEVER sold any brackets for mounting mobile antennas onto the metal roofs of buildings and have no intention of ever doing so. We don't recommend such mounting because large ground plane surface areas
force radiation up into a high angle lobe. This effect applies to both transmitted and received signals and
it seems to be most apparent on the higher frequency HF bands (e.g. on the 15m to 10m bands) and on the
6m band where most of the time DX (long distance) signals are received
at relatively low radiation angles.

We have found HF antennas, in particular, should be mounted at
least 2m above any large metal surface area in order to reduce this effect. The larger the ground plane surface area, then the higher almost any antenna should be mounted.

This is less of an issue on the lower
HF bands, such as on the 160m and 80m bands where a large ground
plane surface area is required!
For many reasons, the higher the frequency of operation, the higher
the antenna should be mounted.

Btw, we do sell a Mobile One M270 2m/70cm mobile type fibreglass whip which has an integrated 5/16" brass thread ferrule base. This antenna normally mounts onto a cone shaped base with a 5/16" male thread.
We sell PL-259 (at front of adaptor)
to 5/16" (at rear) for the mounting of 5/16" ferrule mobile antennas onto
SO-239 side-entry sockets.

See photo below of a generic
SO-239 side-entry base which
accepts only RG-58 coaxial cable. The coaxial cable's centre conductor must be soldered to
the internal centre pin of the
side-entry antenna base.

The FC-40 is a wide-impedance tuning range LONG-WIRE-tuning type automatic antenna tuner.

The FC-40 works with the new  FTDX-3000D, FTDX-1200 and FT-991/A transceivers, all versions of FT-857 and FT-897 transceivers, FT-450 and FT-450D transceivers and also the FT-950 transceiver.

The FC-40 will NOT work with other Yaesu transceivers!

The FC-40 is a microprocessor-controlled antenna high impedance matching network designed for use with all versions of the FT-857 and FT-897 HF/VHF/UHF Transceivers.

The FC-40 makes use of control circuitry inside the transceiver, allowing the operator to monitor and control operation of the FC-40, which mounts near the antenna feed-point. Fully waterproof, the FC-40 may be mounted outdoors in exposed locations and will handle 100 Watts of transmitter power.

The FC-40 will operate across 7 - 54 MHz when using a 2.4m (8 foot) long whip, or across 1.8 - 54 MHz when using a random-length wire longer than 20m (66 feet).

Matching time is typically five seconds or less and the required drive power is 4~60 Watts.

The FC-40 has 200 match-setting-point memories for instant recall of tuning settings.

This is Yaesu's replacement mic
lead for MH-31A8J, etc. In stock.
  

The FNB-78-ACS is a sealed Ni-MH battery pack with a rating of 13.2V @ 4,500mA/h.

It is designed to fit inside Yaesu
FT-897/D transceivers for truly independent portable operation.

An FT-897/D transceiver will accept internally up to two FNB-78 type batteries. Either battery can then be selected (as either battery "A" or battery "B") to power the radio.

One battery may be charging at the same time the other battery is actually powering the radio.

After charging, each battery may allow up to 4 hours of typical operation. E.g. 5% of transmitting time, 5% of receiving time with audio output and 90% of receiving time with squelched (no audio).

Operating time may total 8 hours, if employing two batteries in tandem.

An FT-897/D's RF power output is automatically limited to 20W when operating from an FNB-78 battery.

Yaesu's CD-24 is a fast charging adaptor for fast charging FNB-78 type batteries in only 4 hours.

The CD-24 requires either 13.8Vdc at 2.3A via its normal rectangular 6-pin DC socket -or- 24V DC @ 1.2A via its special DC charging socket.

A normal rectangular 6-pin 20A rated DC plug and cable assembly supplying 13.8Vdc (such as used for powering many Yaesu, Icom, Alinco and Kenwood 100W HF transceivers) may be used to fast charge a FNB-78 battery pack via a CD-24.

Yaesu's PA-26C is a 240vac power supply for use with Yaesu's CD-24 fast charger when charging FNB-78 type batteries.
