I use the Palstar HF-Auto for 80 and 160. The Tuner in the KPA1500 works great on my Hy-gain 6 meter, TH11, and Hy-Tower and it only has to teak just a hair but normally I just leave the tuner in By-Pass mode and the HF-Auto turns into an antenna switch. Probably the best I've ever had are the Ten Tec 238 series of tuners. I should have kept the last one but I didn't. It also had the Balun for twin lead built in as well. In my Man Cave in the garage I have the KPA500/KAT500 combo and they work the same antennas just fine.
