Antenna Tuner LDG Z817

The Z-817 is the ultimate autotuner for QRP radios including the Yaesu FT-817(D). The Z-817 interfaces to the CAT port (ACC) on the back of the FT-817 radio with the cat cable. Tuning could not be simpler; one button push on the tuner is all that is needed and the Z-817 takes care of the rest. It will switch to PKT mode, transmit a carrier, tune the tuner, then restore the radio to the previous mode! 2000 memories cover 160 through 6 meters.

Of course, the Z-817 will also function as a general purpose antenna tuner with other QRP radios. Just transmit a carrier and press the tune button on the tuner. The Z-817 is powered by four AA internal Alkaline batteries , so there are no additional cables required to use the Z-817. Latching relays are used so that power consumption is Zero when not tuning allowing a set of batteries to last about one year.

Technical Data LDG Z-817

RF Power 0.1 to 20 watts SSB, CW and digital modes (Z-817H: 75W)
Latching relays for ultra low power consumption

TIMEWAVE ANC-4 Antenna Noise Canceler

Front-end RF noise canceller for receivers and transceivers, Kills line noise and nulls strong interference.

The ANC-4 is an rf device that eliminates or reduces power line noise, computer noise, TV-generated interference, and other types of electrical noise. The ANC-4 unit connects right to the antenna connector of the receiver or transceiver to cancel locally generated noise before it gets into the receiver and affects the receiver AGC circuits. Reception of signals well below the noise level of the local interference is possible.

To cancel locally generated interference, the ANC-4 detects the interfering signal and adjusts its phase and magnitude so that it matches the offending interference at the receiver input, but is 180 degrees out of phase, effectively cancelling the interference. This scheme is particularly effective at reducing local power line noise or other locally generated noise types.

Front panel controls allow adjustment of both the phase and magnitude of the local interference, providing extremely deep cancellation of the offending interference.

The ANC-4 connects between the main station antenna and the receiver antenna connector. A second antenna connects to the ANC-4 to act as a noise pickup antenna. A short wire antenna or a short collapsible whip is generally satisfactory for eliminating noises generated around the operating position or in the house, but an external antenna usually works better to eliminate noises generated outside the home. Any noise antenna that works, including combinations of horizontal and vertically polarized antennas, is satisfactory.

The ANC-4 operates as an active antenna by using the noise antenna and the NOISE GAIN control to amplify the antenna output. The unit can also be used as a diversity combiner to peak weak signals or null interfering signals.
