Default yaesu FT-817ND without antenna tuner?



The transceiver's output circuitry makes it work on each of the bands,
1.8 through 440 mhz. An antenna tuner has nothing to do with that.

If you attach a resonant antenna for a particular band, it should work
fine with the transceiver on that band. If the antenna feedline does
present a 50 ohm impedance to the transceiver, you may need an
external antenna tuner.


Bob,

Before the new ham becomes totally confused, I think your typo above
should be corrected.... If the antenna feedline does NOT present a 50
ohm impedance to the xcvr, he may need an external antenna tuner.
