Product Overview
Important Compatibility Notes
Note 1: The mAT-Y200 is specially designed for YAESU brand transceivers with RF power output not exceeding 200W (SSB). It cannot be used with FTDX5000 or FT-2000, as these transceivers do not have a standard 8-pin YAESU tuner interface.
Note 2: For 200W transmitters such as FTDX-101MP, when using an external tuner, the transceiver will automatically set the maximum RF power to 100W. Therefore, when using this transceiver, the maximum output power is limited to 100W.
Note 3: The FT-817/818 transceivers cannot use this tuner. If you use one of these transceivers, please choose the mAT-10 tuner, which is specially designed for the FT-817/818.
Note 4: The currently available mAT-Y200 and other Yaesu-dedicated tuners from our company are designed to work well with existing Yaesu transceivers. Compatibility with future Yaesu transceivers that may be sold later cannot be guaranteed.
Note 5: The currently available mAT-Y200 tuner works well with Yaesu FTX-1 Optima (100W or 50W) but is NOT compatible with Yaesu FTX-1 Field (10W). If you use FTX-1 Field (10W), we recommend purchasing the specifically designed mAT-1F tuner.
The mAT-Y200 is specially designed for YAESU brand transceivers with RF power output not exceeding 200W (SSB), such as the FT-891, FT-991A, FTDX10, FTDX101D, FTDX101MP, and FT-710.
This tuner is also an excellent choice for users who operate digital modes such as FT8, CW, and RTTY. The mAT-Y200 allows up to 60 watts of digital mode RF signal to pass through.
The mAT-Y200 connects to the transceiver via the mAT-CY adapter cable. The transceiver supplies power to the tuner through this cable, communicates with it, and controls its operation. No additional power supply is required.
The mAT-Y200 has a frequency range of 1.8-54 MHz and a maximum allowable RF power input of 200 watts. As an external antenna tuner, it connects to the transceiver via the mAT-CY adapter cable. The transceiver supplies power to the tuner through this cable, communicates with it, and controls its operation. No additional power supply is required. The tuner can track and synchronize frequency data with the transceiver, much like the classic mAT-30 tuner, making operation very convenient.
It can tune dipoles, verticals, Yagis, or virtually any coax-fed antenna. It matches an impressive range of antennas and impedances, far exceeding the capabilities of many other tuners you may have considered, including the built-in tuners found in many radios.
The mAT-Y200 has 16,000 frequency memories. When tuning on or near a previously tuned frequency, the mAT-Y200 uses "Memory Tune" to recall the previous tuning parameters in a fraction of a second. If no memorized settings are available, the tuner runs a full tuning cycle, storing the parameters for memory recall on subsequent tuning cycles on that frequency.
Front Panel Indicators:
- ONLINE - Status indicator. Illuminates when the tuner is online (engaged); off indicates bypass mode
- POWER - Power indicator lights up green when the tuner is powered on and working
Rear Panel Connectors:
- GND - Connection point for the antenna system ground
- ANTENNA - SO-239 socket (UHF female). Connect your antenna using a 50-ohm coaxial cable
- RF IN (Max 200W) - SO-239 socket (UHF female). Connect to the "ANT" socket on your transceiver using a 50-ohm coaxial cable rated for at least 200W
- Radio - miniDIN 8-pin socket connected to the "TUNER" socket on the transceiver using the supplied mAT-CY cable

Operation
Like the mAT-30 tuner, the mAT-Y200 features a frequency tracking function. If the transceiver's frequency changes, the tuner will automatically follow. If you have already performed a tuning cycle on a new frequency, you will not need to tune again.
On most modern transceivers, holding down the [TUNE] button on the front panel for more than 1 second initiates a new tuning cycle. Quickly pressing and releasing the [TUNE] button typically toggles the tuner's "ONLINE / BYPASS" status, activating or deactivating the tuner.
