The DAIWA Model CNW-518 is rated @ 2.5 kW RF PEP output for the Ham Bands of 3.5 to 30 mHz. This antenna tuner has be modified to include some of the out of band frequency in the upper bands from 20 meters to 10 meters. This mode was probably made for MARS operation. This mode does not include 11 meters. This video clip shows tuning the tuner into a Cushcraft R5 vertical antenna (20 to 10 meters coverage) The RF is being supplied by an Yaesu FT-890 Transceiver.
Video Rating: 5 / 5
Here is a creation built by Dave – VO1TTU nearly 10years ago, and it works just as good today as the day the tuner was built.

Fantastic video. I always enjoy your vids man. This is what I love about amateur radio. It can be an expensive hobby…. but it doesn’t have to be.
Watching your vids has been a big inspiration to me man. Thanks a lot.
@volvoman440 thanks for the flowers! 🙂
I have been homebrewing radio related equipment for about 15years, and i still need to learn alot! amateur radio cna be as expensive or as cheap as you want to make it!
Great video! I did get my Novice when I was 9, and am almost 60 now. My first Transmitter was a 50C5 tube with a 50 volt fil voltage and a regen receiver ” Band Spanner”. So seeing that there are other people like me that still build things is great. 73s OM! Jimmy, ARRL TS, WX9DX
