Ok Guys...Ya all want a great High Power Tuner then there is only really in my book one good one. It is the JW Miller AT-2500 auto tuner. Good for 2500 watts key down. It is fully automatic on tuning. There are a bunch of us in the Dallas Area using them...Mason has one on his Big Iron...They are costly on the used market $500 to $750

I'm not a fan at all of the Matchbox series... Several folks I know have them, and they have very good points, and, like most Johnson gear, some built-in design quirks and compromises. I am thinking to either find a military or commercial unit - or - hombrew a feedpoint tuner with an unblanced input topology - then I can just run real good coax, or maybe 1/2" or 5/8" hardline, from the TX to the Tuner... the which tuner is basically 'preset' for the small chunk of 80M I'm interetsed in. I have one of those Really Beefy 'antenna changeover' remote switches, made to handle 10KW - I'm thinking of using it to switch the antenna's feedpoint from the 80M tuner to the ladder-line and back - so I can use the Smaller Rigs and the ATR-15 - as is the system now. All this until I move QTH - (hopefully!!) sometime early next year. Just gotta wait until the Real Estate market is at the bottom of it's implosion around here, and then go pick out the ("distressed") Ranch Property I want. At that point I intend to add 'rhombic' to my Ham Lexicon.
