Hi, i just bought ft-840 and an mfj-971 tuner so just the same, i owned a ft 840 before but sold it, very good little radios one i had before was mint pristine should have kept it to be honest, all the best M3VZQ DAVID.
Of all the radios I have now and have owned, the FT-840 is in a class by itself--- It's the radio I have the most fun with. It's built like a tank and although it does not have any bells or whistles really, this radio really doesn't need any--- it's audio and selectivity is just beyond compare to other rigs priced much, much higher. Too bad Yaesu stopped manufacturing this jewel.
Nice Video Theo. We need more VK hams like your self to post some radio shack videos up. Keep up the good work. For all you other Hams out there lets get some more shack pics up. 73

hi there,
how do you route the wire antenna to the tuner? is it down the chimney and direct into the binding post on the tuner?
cheers

Nice little set up, Theo. I love the rig, I had FT-840 for a few years and worked tons of DX on 160m from DL.
Best of luck and hope to meet you on HF. 73 Mike VK4DX
