Features
• Automatically matches antennas from 6 – 800 ohms impedance, or a 10:1 SWR
• Very low current consumption: 300 mA during turning, less than one microamp in standby, or can
be turned off completely. No cooling fan needed! Your AT-897 is ideal for battery-powered
operations.
• Uses latching relays, to retain tuned setting indefinitely even when power is completely removed
• Powered by the FT-897 through the CAT cable (provided); no external power source required
• CAT port access provided
• Tunes in less than 8 seconds, usually around 4 seconds
