I just got an ATAS 100 for my FT100D. Without getting the thing
properly grounded (another thread...), I am only able to tune to 10
meters using the autotuing function. Does anyone know if grounding
will make it possible to tune the other bands?

thanks


Is this the little mobile whip antenna Yaesu makes for 40 thru 2
meters? It needs a ground -- the kind you'd have, attached to a car.
Otherwise, in your apartment, you might try attaching some 1/4 wave
radials to the grounding point for the device, for each band you want
to work. Without a ground, half the antenna system is missing.
