I've never owned a MFJ tuner capable of handling its "rated" power for anything over a 1.5 SWR (and then you get into arguments about PEP vs CW vs Continuous Carrier). They all burn out with even a slight mismatch. Since I'm not trying to tune a dummy load, I'll go with something that can handle 500 watts full carrier into a bad mismatch. That's the reason I bought a manual Palstar tuner for use with my KPA500 -- and it has served me well, but is a manual tuner.
I have faith that Elecraft will meet the performance criteria. I have zero faith, based on long bitter experience, that MFJ can. 73, Bob, WB4SON ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
