Installation/Operating Instructions
Thank you for choosing Yaesus exciting new ATAS-25 Active Tuning Antenna System. We hope and trust that you will enjoy many
years of enjoyable field operation with the ATAS-25!
The ATAS-25 utilizes a manual tuning system which resonates the radiating element for lowest SWR without the need for expensive, inconvenient mono-band resonating whip assemblies. The ATAS-25 allows dual-frequency operation (on HF or 50 MHz and
either 144 or 430 MHz), if two transceivers are combined via a suitable diplexer (not supplied). The ATAS-25 is designed to mount
directly onto a standard camera tripod (not supplied); see Figure 1.
INSTALLATION
1. Mount the ATAS-25 main body onto the tripod.
2. Referring to Figure 2 and the following chart, connect the
radiating elements according to the operating band, then
screw the radiating element securely to the top of the coil
assembly of the ATAS-25.

SPECIFICATIONS
If you operate the ATAS-25 along with the FT-817, we recommend that you set the transceivers Menu #07 (ANTENNA) to
REAR for all bands (HF/50/144/430 MHz), to pass all bands RF
power to the rear antenna jack of the FT-817. Refer to the FT-817
operating manual for details regarding the Menu selections.
For operation on the 144 and 430 MHz bands, in addition to HF/
50 MHz using the FT-847/-100/-100D/-857/-897, you may wish
to consider the purchase of a Diplexer (for the FT-100/-100D/
-857/-897) or Triplexer (for the FT-847) device to contact to the
appropriate transceivers antenna jack; the Diplexer or Triplexer
will then automatically pass RF power from the band in use while
isolating the other one or two jacks. If you do not have a Diplexer
or Triplexer, the coaxial cable connector from the ATAS-25 will
