IC-7100 from A to Z #11 Connecting an external antenna tuner
Channel: Ham Radio A2Z
Date: 2020-10-25

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.


This time we will look at connecting an external antenna tuner to the 7100. In the video I use an MFJ-939I, but a number of other "made for Icom" tuners will connect and operate in a very similar manner.
