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.

Yes, thank you :-)
