I am really mystified about why transceivers include a 3:1 range ATU. It adds $150-200 to the end cost to get an external ATU. It might add $50-75 to make the internal ATU wide-range. It is especially odd for an entry-level rig, where people are likely to be using a low-slung dipole. OK, it is very strange for the IC-7851, too. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
