Will Yaesu 6000r with ATAS120 tune gmrs?

[WSBA587]

Hypothetical question. Would a Yaesu Motorized Mobile Antenna: 40m through 70cm - ATAS-120A tune GMRS frequencies on a MARS open yaesu 6000r. 
 

I completely understand the Atas isn’t “technically” spec for gmrs freqs but will it tune it in reality?

I don't know anything about that antenna.  However, I have a MARS-modded Yaesu 6000r and it pairs wonderfully with my Tram 1181 on 2m, 70cm, and GMRS, without adjustments.

Barely tunes 2m.

So I would venture no.

But you can try, would have to cut the antenna pretty fierce. I figure the internal coil is too long.

In fact I haven't seen a screwdriver antenna (commercial) built even go to 70cm.

No reason for a screwdrive to remotely go that high. A $5.00 quarter wave would work better.

Yeasu's hf mobile motorized screwdriver. Works directly with the likes of a ft891,817,ft991a without the need for a controller.

Gets shit on a lot due to weather seal issues, motor issues and missing features of its competitors. Frankly, you cant compare it to the competitors. Simply because even a baby tarheel is going to start at 350 or so, then if you want memory for the different bands, almost as much as the antenna a quality controller. Then there are the scorpions, easily 3x the atas cost for the screwdriver alone.

The FTM-6000 isn’t listed as one of the ATAS interface radios. I think the hypothetical answer should be no.

The radio in question doesn't have the circuitry in it to drive the ATAS120 motor to tune it, so the answer is a big no.

Thank you so much, was looking for something that works. Just ordered that antenna
