I have an internal K1 tuner and a T1 tuner. The T1 has a much larger impedance range and will match stranger loads than the KAT1.
The big advantage of the KAT1 is that it is an internal pcb that is always there and it also will "remember" settings for each band on the same antenna so you can switch between 40/30/20 and 15 without having to retune again. Generally, I use the T1 more often now than the built-in KAT-1. If I was repeating the rig again, I'd opt for a T1 rather than the builti-in KAT-1. 73, Sandy W5TVW K1 #1178 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Pepperdine" <brianpepperd...@sympatico.ca> To: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Friday, September 04, 2009 1:42 PM Subject: [Elecraft] K1 -: internal tuner or external T1 tuner? > > Hi all. > With the K1, is it better or equal to have the internal tuner built and > installed internally in the K1 or is there a performance factor (better?) > to use the external T1 tuner? > > Thought I would ask and get something ordered before the price changes. > > tnx > Brien > VE3VAW > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
