Use of ICOM AH4 Antenna Tuner

johnpierce
Does anyone have information about how to use an ICOM AH4 antenna tuner with
a K3s.  I have one that is in a remote location, so getting the K3s ATU will
not help me.

 

John,  AD2F

The only experience I have is with the AH-4 connected to an ICOM radio.

I downloaded Icom's paper on using the AH-4 with non-Icom transceivers from:
Icom America - Knowledge Base Article 667G435193

but haven't fully implemented it with my K3 yet. I breadboarded the simple circuit
that they show in this article, but further work will be needed to make it behave the
way it really needs to with a K3 (IMNSHO). I'm shooting for something relatively
simple - i.e., I don't have the time/inclination to use programmable logic, microprocessors, etc.
