That is pretty much what I thought. I will have to read the fine manual and see how the automatic tuner works. Picked up this K3 in a swap deal a while back but I am still pretty much stuck ( happily) in the Collins KWM-2/S-Line “Stone Age” so I need time and patience (lots) to figure how to use these marvelous appliance radios.
In any event I have a MAC-200 made by SGC who make pretty darn good tuners which I can use but that is another box to take along if I do a road trop. 73 to all....

I am not familiar with automatic tuners. ______________________________________________________________ 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]
