You are correct, Stuart. But, while lacking 160m, it did cover 80 to 10m. Okay, so the bandswitch was discrete in the bands available at the time, but it I have used it on the other bands we have now and it still worked there, at least with my 340' double extended Zepp. I didn't measure the efficiency though.
Again, from my rambling comments last night, possibly the correct solution for one person is a tuner that covers the widest range of impedances while another that may not be the case. Maybe one person has no need for balanced lines and is only interested in coaxial fed antennas and a tuner that does well with those (and that person has probably deleted all of these emails). Like many topics, this one has many possible "correct" answers. As somebody else said "It depends" is the right answer.
