Yaesu Radio Interface/MFJ-5114Y
The MFJ-5114Y radio interface allows users of FC-30 compatible Yaesu transceivers to connect to the
MFJ-925 IntelliTuner™ Automatic Antenna Tuners. With this interface, control signals are connected
between the radio and the tuner. The operator can then control the tuner with a single push of the
(TUNE) key on the front panel of the radio. Supported Yaesu radios are FT-100, FT-450, FT-857, FT-
897, FT-950, and any Yaesu radio that supports the Yaesu FC-30 tuner.
Connections for FT-100
1. Turn the tuner off. Set jumper JP2 to the “Y” position.
2. Make sure jumper JP4 inside the MFJ-925 is installed.
3. Before connecting the MFJ-5114Y to your radio, follow the instructions in the radio’s manual for
installing the FC-20 automatic antenna tuner.
a. Press and hold the [FUNC] key for ½ second to activate the Menu mode.
b. Rotate the [SELECT] knob to recall Menu #61 [TUNER/ATAS], and then rotate the Main
Dial to change the setting to “tunEr.”
c. Press the [FUNC] key momentarily to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
d. Turn the FT-100’s power off, then on again, to re-initialize the radio regarding the tuner
status.
4. Turn the radio off. Insert the 8-pin modular plug into the tuner’s RADIO INTERFACE jack.
5. Important
: Make sure the DC power to the radio has been turned off. The radio does not fuse the
DC power to the tuner, and damage to the radio can occur if the interface’s power connection
comes in contact with ground.
6. Connect the 8-pin mini DIN connector to the mating 8-pin mini DIN connector at the end of the
BAND DATA cable pigtail on the back of the radio.
7. Push the [POWER] button on the tuner to the in position and then power on the radio.
Operation for FT-100
The operation of the MFJ-5114Y radio interface is similar to the operation of the FC-20 described in the
Yaesu radio’s operating manual.
1. Press the [FUNC] key, as needed, to recall Operating Function Row 7 [MTR, TUN, PRO, VOX].
2. Press the [B](TUN) key on the radio for ½ second to turn the external tuner function on; the
“TUN” icon will appear bolded in the radio’s display.
3. Press and hold the [B](TUN) key on the radio to begin automatic tuning. The radio will
automatically transmit a low-power carrier and start the tuning process. Press the [B](TUN) key
again to cancel tuning in progress. When tuning is completed, the radio will stop transmitting and
you will be ready for operation on this frequency.
Note the [TUNE] button on the tuner
will not operate the MFJ-5114Y Yaesu radio interface.
