- When I was out to film the "Solar powered Ham Radio for Beginners" video, I thought I'd also make a small video which would show how to use the ATAS-120A antenna with my FT-857D. So, here it is, enjoy!

Thank you! I just set up my 120A with an 857D in my Chevy Truck and was lost: your video helped me at least get a clue... Thank again!
Great, glad I helped!

I have found out recently that You can actually use this antenna on 75 meters through a tuner and an extended antenna....! if you tune the antenna to the center of 40 meters and add a Approx 17 foot wire lead to the whip Base you can tune all of 80 and 75 meters!!! also I have tuned the middle of 30 meters... and with the same wire lead using the LDG auto tuner tuned all of the 60 meter Five u.s. channels.see my QRZ page of my vehicle with a Icom radio using this antenna and my roof rack with wire lead mounted around it.Now i have the Yeasu 857D working with the ATAS antenna.jim KB1PFL
The ATAS is, at the time, my main antenna. 73 from Berlin - DL3RWA
It was for me also, great antenna.

Hallo Robert , wie bist Du mir der Antenne zufrieden und wo gekauft ? 73s DD6FM - Marco
Pfalzhiker sorry eben erst gesehen. Bin ganz zufrieden weil sie auf allen Bändern spielt. (40m bis 70cm) da es aber eine komplette Spule ist muss man beim Empfang abstriche machen. Gekauft bei Funkshop.com
som Slovaak Berlin - Teneriffa in SSB also Berlin - Tjumen with 50 watts and 5/9 @7.150 kHz
Thank you very much for this vid. It is the perfect hint for me, because I want to use it only /p not while driving. And yes. it also works with the FT-991A. 73 de Hermann DK2BE
Very good video! Thanks for a detailed explanation of the ATAS 120A setup.
Thank you, glad you liked my video!
Good video. I don't even have one yet, and I feel I would have a good idea what to do now. We need more content like this online!
Hello!
Today I try the ATAS with a new magnetic foot. 175 mm
Before I got the Diamond K400.
Here the results with Magnetic foot,
40m 1:1,7
20m 1:1
11m 1:1
10m 1:1
6m 1:1
Everything without a special counter poise.
very nice overview - thank you! 73s
You can also adjust the tuning using the up and down keys on the mic. I find that easier to work with. Nice video! K9EZ
Very useful video, thanks for taking the time to share...
Πολυ κατατοπιστικο το βιντεο,μπραβο
Γεια σου Νικο!
VERY informative video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 73 from VE3QJ
Thank you!
You are welcome, 73!
very good tips very good very good
Thank you my friend, glad you liked it, 73!
Many thanks for video. GREAT PLUS.
IMHO/ I think that antena ATAS-120A has bad effectivity, but its price is quite big. Better to use any other type of antena.
With a properly bonded vehicle it works very well. I have mine on a 2500 Ram pickup and talk to Europe with propagation. It is so easy to use, it has made me lazy. Do you have one?
Molto Grazie Signore!
I'd forgot a l l these steps!

Have you tried the antenna in 30m, 17m and 12m?
Very useful video, thanks. What kind of magnetic mount did you use - is that a custom adaptor you put in for the ground plane wires, or is it part of the antenna base itself? It doesn't look like it needs an electrical connection to the base?
Hey, thank you, glad you liked my video. The magnetic mount is a generic mount. That is a custom adapter, yes. It is a large diameter washer which I drilled holes for the wires. This particular setup does not need electrical connection. Grounding is made through the wires. You do need an electrical connection to the vehicle if you want to operate /M, as there is no way to have radials when in motion.
I'm not sure you can use the 817 with the atas, good video, 857/897 only in think. I might be wrong.
Very well presented 👍👍
GREAT VIDEO. I HAVE THE SAME SETUP BUT IN A MOBILE APPLICATION. THERE IS NO NEED FOR RADIALS
Hi folks. Quick, probably silly question. Does the ATAS 120 receive electrical power from the coaxial cable? Prepping for an installation and want to make sure I don't need to run another power cable somewhere.
Yes, the ATAS is powered through the coax. No need to have another power cable for it.
Nice.
Why did they discontinue this radio, but not the 817/818? I guess because it was too much radio and hurt sales of other models?
Απο την αγγλικη προφορα και μονο καταλαβα πως εισαι πατριωτακι !!!!!!!!!! 73 απο SV4RIN !!!!!!!!
You don't need radials for any band except vhf/uhf . 73s
If you tuned it on 2m would that band have worked with the antenna
This is probably a stupid question but if someone has a 857d with the ldg auto tuner would it be stupid for them to buy the ATLAS antenna? Would it be redundant?
Hello, not a stupid question at all. You can just be using the LDG tuner with other antennas. I don’t think the radio can tune the ATAS if you have a tuner connected between them. ATAS is being tuned through current coming from the antenna connector. It is enough to move the antenna. Putting a tuner between the connector and antenna would render this practically useless, I think.
I live in a condo community. Rules against antenna, so it has to be stealth. I have a wooden deck, nothing above me. Is this antenna doeable? i live on the ground floor. Radials could be a risky maneuver, community property and any kid or adult could roam by and trip on them. Only area i could put wires is below the deck by running them through the deck floor. the deck is 12 long by 8 feet wide. Thank you.
I think it would work. Please note that the antenna will not tune without radials so you certainly need them.
Can you explain me better the gound wires, please?
Lenght, and what bands are they matching?
I just bought one atas and would likwme to take the most out of it.
Thanks
Sure. Whatever applies to a base station vertical antenna, applies to the ATAS as well. You can choose the band you want to operate the most and cut as many pieces as you want in the length for that band. The antenna will tune across its supported spectrum anyway (40m to 6m). My setup is 4x pieces of wire, of 2,5m each (which is λ/8 for 20m band). I have made W6 and ZL contacts from SV like this, with the antenna on the roof of the car exactly as shown in the video. 73 de SV2RMK!
@@HamRadioReviews thanks for your help. I will try it.

Φίλε μου καλημέρα τα καλώδια της γείωσης τα έχεις απλά κάτω η τα βάζεις στο έδαφος ευχαριστώ
μπραβο πολυ καλο !

What's your solar setup look like? I see you have a charge controller...
Great video!
Thank You,.. for the Menu demonstration, for This Radio! I have 1 question... How Long, did it Take You to Remember, All the Needed Functions? I'm NOT being Sarcastic! I Work HF/M Every day! An Alinco DX70 with "Hamstick's"!. I use an MFJ-909 (cap. match) for 40 and 75m. I Want to go to a Screwdriver System! The Menu system on This Radio, is Why I haven't bought one... yet. Any Thought's... -Thom
Heh, I did have to go through a learning curve. But as soon as I realised that the menu system is sorted alphabetically, it was easier. Yes, the menu system is a disadvantage on the FT-857D but considering its size, it kind of seems logical. The Alinco seems to be similar in size. Haven't operated one though.
καλησπέρα καλή μεγάλη εβδομάδα και ελπίζω να είσαι καλά....έχω πάρει και εγώ την ΑΤΑS αλλά δεν κατάφερα να την ενεργοποιήσω...εάν έχεις το χρόνο και την διάθεση θα ήθελα την βοήθειά σου...ευχαριστώ ...Βασίλης sv2esv
Καλημέρα και Χριστός Ανέστη! Για να ενεργοποιήσεις την ATAS στο FT-857D, πας στο μενού 1 «EXT MENU» και το ενεργοποιείς στο «ΟΝ». Μετά πας στο μενού 085 «TUNER/ATAS» και το βάζεις στο ATAS/HF-50. Αυτό ενεργοποιεί την κεραία για βραχέα και 6μ. Αφού το κάνεις αυτό, στην οθόνη πάνω δεξιά θα λέει «ATAS» (με κεφαλαία) ή «atas» με πεζά, ανάλογα με την μπάντα που είσαι. Όταν είναι με κεφαλαία, θα μπορείς να τη συντονίσεις. Ελπίζω να σε κάλυψα, 73!
Can you still manually tune while outside ham band? (When it says atas)
Haven't tried, to tell you the truth. If it says "atas" (lower-case) and not "ATAS" (upper case) then it won't tune the antenna.
Are those 4 radials at the same length, 50cm?
Same length, yes. But not 50cm, they are 2.5m each (250cm).
Thank you sir, de YC5YC
Can you use this antenna with tripple magnetic mount while moving ?
You probably could, but I would not recommend it. Better use a proper mounting base. The magnetic mount in the video is for whip antennas only. I am not using it to mount the ATAS when moving.
@@HamRadioReviews thanks for reply. I decided it's best I operate while stationary so maybe the single mat like you will do. How have you earthed it e.g. where is the earth bolted to? I plan to use the atas 120 with my Ic 7300 in the car powered by leisure battery
anyone have problems getting atas to tune? I hooked everything up and my antenna doesn't mov someone said to ground it but not sure how??
Have you had any luck with your ATAS?
Hi there. How do you find the ATAS 120A performs? I like to work HF DX. Also, how long would you say it takes to tune from say 20m to 40m roughly? Thanks kai polla 73 apo VK5MTM - Theo.
It's a great antenna. I've worked ZL, W6 from SV with it.
Εχεις ενα οργανακι μεταξυ του 857 και της μπαταριας... τι ειναι ακριβως ? ο ρυθμιστης φορτισης του ηλιακου ?
Ναι ακριβώς. Παίρνει τα 18V πχ από το ηλιακό και φορτίζει τη μπαταρία.
Σε αυτό το βίντεο τα εξηγώ λίγο καλύτερα: czcams.com/video/Xtkw9UW72OQ/video.html
What type of antenna mount are you using on your car?
A simple magnetic mount like this one: amzn.to/2i9xRYG Of course, using a magnetic mount like this to mount the ATAS 120A means you have to be parked somewhere and not moving. The 2m antenna mount at the trunk lid is a Diamond K400: amzn.to/2hbBGg8
can this antenna be used in Freq 4.605 mhz
Lolololol.... What a non sense... All of it
