Icom IC7300 A to Z #40 Internal Antenna Tuner Operation

NOTICE: In July 2021 the channel name changed from HamCuredSmoke
To Ham Radio A2Z. All of the earlier videos (like this one) are still available.

In this video we'll look at the settings and operation of the automatic antenna tuner that is built into the IC-7300. We'll go through the different settings and how they affect the tuner operation. We'll also take a look at putting the tuner into emergency mode. The tuner normally tunes antennas up to a 3:1 SWR. Turning on Emergency Mode allows you to tune a wider range of antennas in exchange for reduced output power.

Tom, thanks for doing these videos. This tuner video gave me more info than the manual and answered so many questions. Awesome!

[markkusiipola]

Very good series! Of course you can and should read the manual also, but the Tom's explanations make it easier to understand.

Thank You! This is a fantastic series on the IC-7300.

This is like waiting for my favorite cable shows to drop. Excellent!

[crohnos]

Tom, you are a mind reader... I was just going to ask if you were going to discuss the internal tuner and "ta-dah", here's the video. Thanks so much for these videos and the A to Z series... I am really getting a lot of good out of this as a new Ham. Thanks again!

[martindrury]

What a great demo. I will be getting the 7300 soon and this helped me a lot. Many thanks.

[crazynordlander]

Thanks for explaining this. Looking forward to the external tuner tutorial. I have an end fed half wave 8010 from my antennas. I bought the LDG AT100ProII tuner. I have the IC-7100 and I bought the LDG IT-100 for that. Full watch and like!
