I own several tuners to operate other equipment, which I must sadly admit I own, and Elecraft tuners outperform, IMHO, all of them!
Bill WR Johnson 920-421-1172 -----Original Message----- Three reasons: 1. (obvious) the integrated, automatic pre-setting-per-antenna-per-VFO function, and the (also obvious) dual antenna jack feature ... just way too useful to not have. 2. (not so obvious) the LDG and most other relay-type autotuners stop diddling the Ls and Cs when the indicated VSWR ratio gets to a place where they decide it's OK. The Elecraft tuning algorithm is recursive, "passing" the implicit null(s) and finding the "real" one. Once you have this feature, you won't go back. 3. (also not obvious) the Elecraft autotuners do a better job matching the odd, and often abruptly high impedances of field antennas, than the LDG or the SGC _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
