Love my Yaesu mobile system
Review by
Mike KD2ZZA
I recently installed the FT-891 and ATAS 120A in my Ford Explorer. As an experienced ICOM IC-7300, IC-705 operator, I experienced a steep learning curve to use the Yaesu radio and the autotune feature of the ATAS.
The Advanced Owners Manual to the radio is a "must have" to go through the steps (menu) to operate the ATAS. It has been about a week and I love this combo for my first mobile radio. BTW: I am using the Lido console mount with speaker to complete the setup.

Great Mobile HF option

I have used the ATAS 120-A for 4 years now without issue. Make sure you have a good mount and the antenna is grounded to the frame and you will not have any issues. I have worked all Continents from Florida with this antenna.

Convenient, quick set-up with some understanding

I like the ATAS 120A for it's convenient set-up at trailer campsites. Recognizing that it's not a 7-band dipole or 33 ft. vertical, it works well. A 63 in. antenna on 40m is a bit of a compromise, so don't expect too much. I can run the coax into my travel trailer and be up and running in 5 min. with the ATAS. It takes me almost an hour to set-up my 35 ft. high inverted V. Recognizing that tuning the ATAS may take up to 2 min between bands, and ignoring what sounds like motor noise (it's the clutch designed to take the stress off the motor), it's a winner!
