Looks like the better rf yaesu tune control uses a custom pic ic.

So home brewing one is not possible.

I am now looking to buy one pre-owned.

Thanks.

Hi All,

As the heading states, i'm looking to home brew a yaesu tune control that used to be made by better rf which is no longer manufactured.

it would make the FT100D/857D/897D think that the Icom AH2/3/4 series of automatic tuners are a Yaesu FC20/30 Auto ATU and allow the icom tuner to work with these Yaesu Radios.

does anyone either have one of these kicking around or know how these were built or could otherwise be replicated?

here is a link to the old DXE page for the Yaesu Tune Control for reference...
