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.
