Anyone using the Yaesu Automatic Tuning Antenna System for mobile HF comms? For those who don't know, the ATAS-120 is an auto-tuning HF antenna that works in conjunction with the various Yaesu mobile HF radios (817,857,897) to automatically tune itself for whatever band you select. The radio sends a signal to the antenna's motor which dials in or out for best SWR match.
For $300, it seems like a great idea and, if it works, a great value. I could have a mobile all-band station for under $1k with the ATAS-120 and FT-857D!
Anyone use this sucker? Does it work? Does it break easily?
