OK a very good reality check when you look at the numbers! So I'm still trying to figure out the usefulness of a built in tuner. Two situations come to mind: You have no feedline and are driving a wire right out of your rig with a counterpoise (KX3 portable operations) OR you are using it to just "touch up" the load on the PA from an antenna that is close to resonance. I would hope that a good Elmer would point out that a built in ATU does nothing more then keep your PA happy but does nothing toward getting out a good signal AND that if a tuner is necessary, a remote one is a better choice. Thanks for your patience everyone while I get these concepts "right". Other forums would not have been as accommodating. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected]
